Jul 30, 2012—No sooner was the ink dry on my article about the death of Gay Whitney (see Honoring the Life of Gay Whitney) than I received an e-mail from Craig K. Harmon, Q.E.D. Systems' president and CEO, informing me that Bert Moore had died of a heart attack.

Moore was the director of technical communications and media relations at AIM, as well as a member of the AIDC 100. He consulted on automatic-identification technologies, but was best known for AIM's monthly AIM Connections and RFID Connections e-newsletters. In addition, he served as a member of AIM's Technical Symbology Committee (TSC) and RFID Experts Group (REG).

Moore's knowledge of auto-ID technologies was both wide and deep. He covered bar codes and RFID, and had the ability to explain the technologies' complexities in a way that others could easily understand. He maintained a healthy skepticism regarding the hype surrounding RFID in 2003 and 2004, and would send me e-mails saying, "Have you seen the latest article on the death of the bar code?"

Remembering Bert Moore I am shocked to hear that he has passed. I learned a LOT from Bert and had a lot of fun while doing so. He was a great person and he will be sorely missed.
