Dr. Birnstiel will be greatly missed by the bridge engineering community. I am grateful for our many technical discussions and the opportunities to have learned from him. He devoted much of his life to improvements in bridge engineering practice and has left a legacy of commitment and expertise. I will remember him well. He made a difference.

Charles Birnsteil was my teacher, thesis advisor and mentor at NYU in 1963,1964. As he did with so many engineers, he continued to advise and mentor , often just by his actions and numerous contributions to the civil engineering profession. His legacy of striving for technical excellence and professional honesty will always be with us.

Rest in peace, Charles.
