Mark A. Horton (mah@netmha.com) passed away Friday September 7, 1996.
|
|
Cause currently unknown, but poor health is suspected. he did have a lot of
|
|
health problems, although he never let them keep him down long, in so many
|
|
ways he was such an inspiration!
|
|
<P>
|
|
Having been through the rest of the *nixes, and knowing the subject well,
|
|
he was one of the greatest proponents of Linux. His enthusiasm and
|
|
willingness to help anyone at any time were his greatest gifts to the Linux
|
|
community.
|
|
<P>
|
|
His kindness, willingness to help others in many ways including Linux and
|
|
his generosity will be missed by those of us that knew him and an example
|
|
for all of us to strive for. For me personally, he was my best friend and
|
|
mentor. He taught myself and *MANY* others much about the nuts and bolts
|
|
of Linux in a joyous way that was informative and instructive and often
|
|
most pleasantly humorous. Most any interaction with Mark was a good time.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Having spent a great many hours with him personally as well as on the
|
|
phone, he made is very clear that he didn't want any morose happenings
|
|
should anything ever happen to him, There will be a party by his friends to
|
|
honor that request sometime in the near future. Will plan on celebrating
|
|
his contributions and the many wonderful things that there are to be
|
|
remembered about him. He was one of the true good guys and his joyous,
|
|
creative, tenacious, encouraging spirit will be missed by those that knew
|
|
him. To the many that knew Mark and to the many who didn't, hoist one to
|
|
one of the greats! He will be missed.
