Imaging Technology News extends its condolences to the AuntMinnie.com team on the loss of International Editor Eric Barnes, who died on July 5 after a brief illness. According to its site, Barnes was one of AuntMinnie.com's founding editors. He joined the company in October 1999, just a few months before it launched at RSNA 1999. A Michigan native, he came to AuntMinnie.com as part of a career in health journalism, and quickly made his mark on the industry.
"Eric had a larger-than-life personality and believed in living every moment to its fullest, every day," said AuntMinnie.com Editor-in-Chief Brian Casey. "He will be missed terribly, both at AuntMinnie.com and by the radiology community around the world."
Donations can be made in Barnes’ name to the Sierra Club or the Metropolitan Community Church.
