Richard Deslattes passed away on 16 May 2001 after a life dedicated to fundamental metrology. Although the themes of calibrating light, matter and fundamental constants can give three guiding principles through his career, the wide-ranging nature of his areas of interest are encompassed by over 165 refereed publications with several cited over 100 times. He has left an enduring legacy to science.
