I never knew Dr. Sorger personally. I only heard about him through a couple of his professional colleagues, and I have a few pages of his lecture notes still in my files. Based on the stories I heard and his notes I have read, he was a wonderful colleague, a brilliant engineer, and a great teacher. He was able to make very complex subjects easy to understand--a real sign of brilliance--and he made life a pleasure for those around him.
It always amazes me how much a complete stranger can touch your life; the fact that someone that Dr. Sorger never even knew is better off because of Dr. Sorger's life is a testament to his greatness. My condolences to his family.

I was a river guide on the Klamath River in the 1980s. Dr. Sorger and his two sons were guests on one of my trips. He was one of the most interesting guests I ever had and in all theses years I've thought of him, so I decided to google his name and here I am. Rest in Peace.
