When I interviewed Arthur Whitney in 2009[0], Roger came up again and again. (He only appears in the transcript once, but Arthur spoke of him several times, always with great fondness.) Roger clearly had an outsized influence on Arthur -- in addition to his particularly close relationship with computer science pioneer Ken Iverson. Condolences to his family -- and to his close friends like Arthur, who I know must be grieving this loss.

For what it’s worth, Roger felt you did a superb job on this interview with Arthur - he referenced it a number of times in our correspondences. Which is somewhat funny, as him doing so kind of brought my personal computing journey full circle in a weird way; your work and evangelism on Solaris is what convinced me to get involved in POSIX development in the first place.

Wow, I'm deeply honored that he felt I did right by Arthur, and just wish that I had had the opportunity to meet Roger. Thank you very much for sharing that, and may his legacy serve to inspire a rising generation of bold thinkers!
