Seshadri, 90, died on Feb. 5 in Morgantown, W.Va.

“My father was a quiet man and a great observer. His work was very important to him, and when I was a child, I admired his dedication and his strong work ethic. He was a man of few words but of great honor and integrity, and this showed in his work as a scientist and in his dedication to his family. He was only interested in doing the best he could at work and with his family; material things mattered little to him. He was quiet, humble, dignified, and honest.”—Veena Seshadri, daughter
