Sâmbătă a fost condus pe ultimul drum domnul profesor Constantin Nănasi. Iată ce spune domnul Horia Gligor despre acesta:

"

Nascut in Basarabia in 18 mai 1939, ajunge in timpul razboiului, impreuna cu cu familia la Timisoara, termina Liceul nr. 1 [acum Colegiul National C.D. Loga] si apoi facultatea de electronica de la Bucuresti.

 Un mare soc i-a produs decizia neasteptata de impiedecare a sustinerii examenului de stat din cauza problemelor dosarului politic al tatalui sau. Si-a "pierdut urma" la Timisoara, angajandu-se ca functionar la ICRAL.

 Recunoscut fiind pentru competenta sa  electronist, a fost solicitat si reusit sa repare TV-ul stricat al primului secretar regional si astfel sa-i atraga atentia profesorului Rogojan care i-a propus sa se angajeze la catedra dsale, protejandu-l de "scotocitorii prin dosare".

Dupa pensionarea din anul 2000, doar starea precara de sanatate l-a impiedecat sa petreaca in continuare mai mult timp in laboratoarele facultatii. Respectat de zeci de generatii de studenti pentru profesionalismul, pedanteria extrema si talentul sau pedagogic, ramane un exemplu de spirit de cercetator si tenacitate si pentru colegii de catedra cu care a colaborat la realizarea a nenumarate proiecte.

"
Este o pierdere teribilă pentru informatica şi electronica românească. Dumnezeu să îl odihnească in pace.

Today, our team met up in Timisoara with senior research engineer Horia Gligor, Prof. Constantin Nanasi and Prof. Stefan Holban. We discussed about several computers built in Romania , we received additional data, which we will use to update several articles, as well as create a few new ones. Overall, it was an interesting and productive visit. We would like to thank them for spending almost 4 hours with us, answering our questions, and telling us about their personal experiences with these historic machines.
