Sorry to have to share the news that Ray Tomlinson died yesterday. I knew him
when we worked at BBN in the 1980s. He was inducted into the Internet Hall of
Fame in 2012.
Nice article on Ray at
http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/2/2991486/ray-tomlinson-email-inventor-interview-i-see-email-being-used
His wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Tomlinson
He is credited for inventing email that we used today, but his work was much
broader.
Very sad, he will be missed.
