My sympathies go out to his family and friends.  It's too bad
there won't be the same level of public grief for Dennis R. as
there was for Steve J.  I'd argue Dennis has had the greater
impact on the computing world than Steve did; Steve made a
nice house with a good paintjob and flashy curtains.

Dennis poured the foundation.
