With great sadness I learned from Ben Brosgol that Jean Ichbiah passed on
Friday, 26 Jan 2007
Ben said that Jean had a brain tumor around a year ago, and he had a serious
fall last Autumn in which he fractured his skull. He was in rehab for
several months, and I believe that he had been home (in Burlington, Mass.)
for several weeks.
Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, January 30, at 12:30 pm:
Temple Shalom Emeth 16 Lexington Street Burlington, Mass.
To quote Jobn Barnes:
"Jean had an amazing understanding of the basic concepts concerning what
programming was really about. Ada may have its flaws but it is a damn sight
better than anything else I know.
Jean will be remembered as the inspiration for ideas which have driven many
of our careers."
