WE RECOMMEND

One of the original engineers that helped Intel develop the USB specification, Brad Hosler, has passed away after a long fight against cancer. Hosler was a core contributor to the USB 1.0 initiative where he led the host controller specification and implemented USB logo compliance program.

Hosler is survived by his wife Marjanna, daughters Amanda, Elizabeth, MaryPat, and Karen, his parents and siblings. To honor Brad’s memory his family has sat up a scholarship fund in his name, which will provide financial support to promising engineering students. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for monetary contributions to be made to the scholarship fund.
