News about W. Richard Stevens ?

[Peter Galbavy <Peter.Galbavy () knowledge com>]

It appears from a posting in comp.protocols.tcp-ip that W. Richard
Stevens has passed away. Can anyone confirm if this is the case,
because if it is then many many of us will be very saddened by this
news. I cannot think of any single person who has had so much
influence over my understanding of TCP/IP and UNIX programming.

I genuinely hope it is not true.
