Bernard Cywinski, founding principal of Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, passed away on March 2 from cancer.
Because he never got the hang of drawing on a computer, he would sit with young designers and "essentially do backseat driving," recalled Kelly Vresilovic, who sat next to him at BCJ's South Broad Street office.
The irony is that the firm, which has offices in five cities, is best known today for creating the prototype for the Apple stores, including the glass cube on New York's Fifth Avenue, and for designing a massive Seattle home for Microsoft chief Bill Gates. - Philly.com

RIP, Mr.Cywinski.
Yes, it is sad. In my few interactions with him, Bernie was an all-around lovely person, and I have heard the same from people I know who knew him well.
