[x3d-public] Mitch Williams

[Anita Havele]

It is with great sadness that we share that Mitch Williams passed away 
on Monday March 11, 2019. A long-time Web3D Consortium member and a X3D 
advocate, Mitch was active in the Web3D community for several years and 
was recently elected as a member of the Web3D Consortium Board of 
Directors. The Web3D Community will remember Mitch for his many 
contributions to 3D Graphics and Virtual Reality.
We last saw Mitch at SIGGRAPH 2018 in Vancouver. He told us that he had 
been diagnosed with brain cancer but was optimistic about his treatment 
and in good spirits and still actively pursuing 3D graphics at Samsung. 
He fought a valiant battle against this cancer for over 12 months. Rest 
In Peace Mitch, we will forever remember you for your passion for 3D 
Graphics.
Funeral services will be held at Eden Memorial Park in Los Angeles on 20 
March, 2019 from 3:00 pm - 4:20 pm (details at
