Roland Haitz:
​A Life of Creativity

On March 2, 2016, QuarkStar hosted a luncheon in tribute to our team member and his extraordinary life and contributions to the SSL industry. People who had been close to Roland both professionally and personally - such as Jeff Tsao, Mike Holt, Bob Steele, Jim Brodrick, and Roland's son, Lars Haitz - were invited to speak about their experiences with him. The event was documented and segments of each speaker will be released episodically over the upcoming months.

A first edition compendium of Roland's life and work was also printed and distributed to luncheon guests. It is available for download below, and future editions will include additional materials such as personal stories and encounters from his friends, family, and colleagues.
