Peter Warneck, 91, died on April 6 in Mainz, Germany.

“I will keep memories of my father being a 100% dedicated scientist with deep interest for the chemistry of the natural atmosphere. This is also the title of a book he spent many hours writing when I was a boy. He was a kind-hearted father who was always supporting his children. He had far-reaching conversations on many different subjects, from outer space to music, up to the age of 91. He loved listening to jazz music and passionately played clarinet.”—Christian Warneck, son
