Amar Bose, R.I.P.

A good, if brief, summary.

His influence was always felt around MIT even long after he'd left. His company generously donated equipment and money to furnish labs and help out projects; many grads went to work for Bose. He was also a staunch believer in the value of keeping a company private, even during boom (bubble) times when he could have made a lot more money on the public markets.
