I did a search and found this written by Bob Kahn. It is more eloquent that anything I could say. Bob ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Memorial Tribute to Barry Leiner by Robert E. Kahn Quite unexpectedly, Barry Leiner a pioneer in the information technology died in his sleep during the early morning hours of April 2, 2003. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Ellen and their two children, Jason and Diedre, along with the rest of their family. .... This was the essence of Barry Leiner as I knew him. He strove for accomplishment, for fairness and objectivity, for collaboration and organization, for supporting the community whose talents he greatly appreciated and for being a friend and colleague to all who knew him. Barry was a person you could trust. You could talk to him, ask his help or his advice and he would gladly give it if he could. He was truly a giving person. Anyone who ever knew him came away the better for the experience. I will miss him greatly and I know his friends and colleagues will feel the same. http://www.dlib.org/dlib/april03/04editorial.html ------ End of Forwarded Message ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as interesting-people () lists elistx com To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
