I am really shocked to hear this news. Ewald hired me in 1992 as a contractor, at AT&T, to work on Intuity Audix. He was an excellent manager who preferred the hands-off approach to management. He was always brimming with ideas on how to improve the product and how to come up with new products. The Internet was still in it's infancy during those days, but Ewald was already dreaming up ways in which it could be leveraged for messaging applications. With his always present coffee cup in hand, he could be heard stomping through the corridors of the AT&T Lincroft building and later Holmdel. I lost touch with him after 2001, but I will always remember him as someone who went out of his way to be generous to those who worked for him. - Yusuf Dadani
