Professor Charles S. Fadley (nicknamed Chuck), who was a global leader in photoelectron spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation, passed away on 1st August 2019 at the age of 77. He was a well-known founder of photoelectron diffraction, and as a front runner in photoelectron spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation he initiated and promoted several novel approaches; such as, photoelectron holography, hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, soft-X-ray standing wave spectroscopy, and more. He contributed to many scientific activities and served scientific communities including this ALC conference. He was an honorable member of the JSPS 141st Committee and a laureate of JSPS 141st Committee Award. This paper summarizes his life to honor his great achievements in science and contributions to scientific communities.
