The LSU Center for GeoInformatics (C4G) & La. Spatial Reference Center (LSRC) mourns the loss of Mr. William Ernest “Bill” Henning, III of Dagsboro Delaware, who passed away on January 25, 2024. He was 76 years old. We offer condolences to his family and friends. He was a frequently invited speaker at our outreach events due to his role as a Senior Geodesist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Geodetic Survey. He helped NGS develop the guidelines and methodology for using GNSS real-time positioning. Always available, he made many presentations on behalf of the C4G & LSRC. He authored. Best Practices in Using Real-time GNSS Networks, and others. We continue to use his Best Practice references to this day.
