William Rupert "Bill" Nipper

Bill was one of the first people I met at Sun Microsystems, back in 1988, when we were both tech writers. Always very generous with his knowledge about language, life, and technology, his outlook was more optimistic than my own, and he had enlightening things to say about things I wouldn't have suspected we had in common, such as old family roots in Ukraine (the surname Nipper is derived from the Dnieper River) and an interest in Liberia. Deepest condolences, Pat. I looked up Bill's name...

On the one year anniversary I hope your family has been coping well. Time will help heal your pain, friends will comfort you, faith will uphold you, and loving memories will heal your your hearts. Matthew 5:4
