Professor Roger Wäppling has passed away at an age of 82.  After basic 
studies in physics and mathematics  at Uppsala University, Sweden he was sent 
to Munich 1965 to learn Mössbauer spectroscopy. He returned one year later 
and established a Mössbauer group in Uppsala. His interest was especially 
magnetism but he established also good contacts with other disciplines, like 
chemistry and geology at the university. He supervised more than ten Ph D 
students mainly in the Mössbauer spectroscopy field but his broad knowledge 
was also utilized in other spectroscopies like myon spinn resonance (MuSR)at 
CERN , ISIS and PSI .
He was a member of the IBAME committee and took also active part in 
establishing a Nordic Mössbauer community.
He was an inspiring and patient listener and gave his coworkers large freedom 
and he always supported their work. To the group came also several scholars 
from  African and Asian universities which broadened the Mössbauer community 
to their home countries.
We, which have got the privilege to work with Roger are very thankful for his 
achievements.
