I met Shlomo when I was studying for my Msc and Phd in the lab of Shaul Hochstein. I had published a paper on face detection, one of Shlomo's many research interests, and he agreed with parts of it, but disagreed with others. In true Shlomo style, he then invited me to a joint research project so that we could investigate the issues together.
I will always remember the year of our joint investigation very fondly. Shlomo's enthusiasm for science was infectious, his memory for citing relevant research phenomenal, and his curiosity had no boundaries whatsoever - there was always a new and interesting question lurking just around the corner. Shlomo combined all this with an amazing warmth and love for people, immediately making sure I felt at home in his lab. Shlomo was a mensch in the fullest sense of the word. I will miss him sorely.
