I just heard that Steve Casner, a member of this list, died this morning 

I will deeply miss him - he greatly helped me understand much about IETF transport area protocols in the 1990s and then 
later, about the history of VoIP

Steve was an infinitely kind and gentle soul.  He will be missed.

Yes, that is the sad news on an otherwise celebratory day, Scott.

His wife, Karen, can be reached at casner at acm.org - an email address she
shared with Steve.
There are no plans, as yet, to convene a memorial but I hope one will be
planned, perhaps allowing remote participation.
Steve was an engineer's engineer - intrepid in his exploration of the
possible, pragmatic at need. I feel great gratitude to have known and
worked with him over the course of decades.

Oh no.

I worked with Steve for several years on video networking.? He had an 
amazing ability to visualize complex interactions, particularly the way 
that networks would pulse and synchronize. (So when we wrote code 
together I did the skeleton into which he could insert the algorithms 
that actually made the system work.)

Steve's perspective on networking was synoptic - he saw how the whole 
thing worked, from the clocking of bits to the resonance of routing 
algorithms.

He and Karen often came to our house to attend plays at Santa Cruz 
Shakespeare.? (His Tesla roadster always got a lot of attention.)

What sad news indeed.

And i do not know how old Steve was, but it looks like maybe just 11 years older
than myself, and that very sadly sounds way too early. I hope he did not have
any lenghy, painfull health issue.

I had the pleasure and privilege to work a bit with Steve after i joined Cisco in 1999,
and i inherited a bit the networking/multicast deployment issue for customers
that where all running Cisco IPTV. That was the relabelled Precept IPTV, and
Precept was the company that Steve worked for before 1999 and Cisco AFAIK bought
primarily because of the IPTV products. I am pretty sure that we did also use that
solution in our IETF remote attendance solutions suite when we used multicast for remote
attendants.

(https://medium.com/@sarshamir/history-of-iptv-8c4133a6a572  is a quick Precept summary).

Sadly,
    Toerless
