Echelon’s Executive Chairman of the Board Ken
Oshman passed away. He was 71 years old.
In a prepared statement Echelon's Board of Directors
said, "We are deeply saddened by the loss of Ken Oshman. Ken's legacy will
be remembered in many ways. He was one of the original Silicon Valley
entrepreneurs, whose personal vision and passion formed not one, but two,
industry leading companies that developed revolutionary technologies that paved
the way for today's communications and modernization of the smart grid. Ken was
a brilliant leader who served as an inspiration to everyone around him, and he
created a culture where hard work and collaboration just came naturally.
Echelon is part of his legacy, and one that will continue to make him
proud."
