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."
