Leo G. Kroon

      It is with deep regret that we have learned of the sudden death of our colleague Leo Kroon.

      Leo G. Kroon worked as a Professor of Quantitative Logistics at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM), and as a Logistics Consultant in the Department of Process Quality and Innovation at Netherlands Railways (NS).

      During his long-standing career of more than 32 years at RSM, he served in many positions and roles: as scientific researcher, assistant professor, associate professor, and full professor, ERIM Member and ERIM Fellow, supervisor to many master students and PhD candidates, and as chairman of the Examination Board.

      Leo was instrumental in building a world-class research group on decision support tools for the planning and real-time operations control of public transport systems. He taught applied mathematics to the first year bachelor students, and quantitative logistics to bachelor and master students, and PhD candidates.

      He was a member of the NS team that won the very prestigious INFORMS Edelman Award 2008 for its model-based contributions to the development of the 2007 NS timetable. He was the recipient of the 2008 ERIM Impact Award and he received the Umbra Erasmi.

      We will remember Leo as a brilliant and erudite colleague who was committed to his students, PhD candidates, and colleagues he worked with. He was honest, humble, and gifted with a subtle sense of humour.

      Our thoughts are with his partner Cisca.

        Even though I did not know Leo very well, he made a great impression through his modest approach and his splendid works. I had really looked forward to continue the collaboration that we just started. My thoughts goes to his nearest. Thanks Leo for your contributions - we will continue to build upon them.

        I am shocked. Leo was a great scientist, colleague and friend that contributed considerably in optimizing public transport and logistics. His sudden death is a big loss. He will deifinitely be remembered for his work, as well as for his gentle and modest personality.

        Ik ben diep aangeslagen na het horen van dit droevig nieuws.
        Leo Kroon stond aan de top van Operations Research. Hij heeft in de promotiecommissie gezeten toen ik mijn proefschrift verdedigde en heb hem daarna meerdere malen gesproken toen ik consultancy voor NS deed. Hij zal altijd in mijn herinnering blijven als een zeer geleerde en zeer respectvolle man die een enorme bijdrage heeft geleverd zowel aan de wetenschap als aan NS.

        Rust zacht.

        For me the loss of Leo represents the loss of one of the brightest persons I ever knew, the loss of someone who deserved my highest regard.
        For the world the loss of Leo represents the loss of one of the most notable researchers in transportation science, that made a perfect match between theory and practice.
        Thank you, Leo

        I am so saddened to learn of the passing of Leo. He is a great researcher in the field of railway operations management. He is also a modest and gentle man. I still remember our cooperation on a proposal. He tirelessly modified again and again. His passing is a great loss to us.
        We will miss him forever!
