Man, Sorry about your lose, I just wanted to say the memorial was touching enough to make a grown man cry.

I work at Sun Microsystems. The entire obituary and link was sent around the company by our engineers in a viral blog. The SPARC workstation folks posted this on their site. Its a precious and wonderful tribute. I think all of us who read your remarks felt sad you had lost your brother but immediately recognized what a sweet and gentle soul you are to have done this for him. Just know he lives on with all the engineers, marketing, R&D, software and hardware folks at Sun.................................truly an infinite journey.
