Prof. Eiichi Goto passed away on June 12, 2005 at the age of 74 after a long struggle with illness that was initially caused by diabetes. Despite his suffering, he continued to actively pursue his goals as a scientist, an engineer and an educator until his death. He was a Japanese pioneer in computing. His contributions in computing are so varied that one would need many pages to describe his achievements.
