My dad's funeral is on Sunday Feb 3, in Boca Raton Florida.
I brought ipods to record conversations with him about all the hacks, insights and details of the vintage hardware and systems he used, but the stage 4 lung cancer and chemo stole his voice only a week after I arrived :-( At 90, dad could not tolerate the chemo required to fight the lung cancer. James T Kirk might not believe in the "no win scenario" but I could not cheat like he did with the Kobayashi Maru :-(
Carl Claunch summarized it best: He was a great person, someone I was fortunate to have known and worked with. A master of the mainframe who just quietly did his job.
