<div dir="ltr">I got to work a little bit with Danny and also remember his humor. We used to tease each other occasionally and one of my favorite memories is when I created a set of stationary (paper and envelopes) for Oceanview University and used it to send him a letter informing him that he'd overstayed his sabbatical and was needed back on campus. He said receiving the envelope emblazoned Oceanview gave him a moment's pause and concern that perhaps there was such a university after all...<div><div><br></div><div>Craig</div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Aug 13, 2019 at 6:59 PM Ross Callon <<a href="mailto:rwcallon@gmail.com">rwcallon@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word;line-break:after-white-space"><span style="font-size:14px">I am so sorry to hear about this.</span><div><span style="font-size:14px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:14px">I am of course aware of his very significant technical work.

Like most good humor, it is of course entirely correct and offers a unique insight into the world. I will re-read it and be thankful to have known him. </span></div><div><span style="font-size:14px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:14px">Ross <br></span><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Aug 13, 2019, at 11:43 AM, Stephen Casner <<a href="mailto:casner@acm.org" target="_blank">casner@acm.org</a>> wrote:</div><br class="gmail-m_-9151480132449624218Apple-interchange-newline"><div><div>Barbara Tversky informed me that Danny Cohen died yesterday morning,<br>peacefully at home.<br><br>We have lost another major figure in the development of Internet<br>protocols, particularly those related to packet audio and video.<br>Danny was my supervisor and mentor for several years at the beginning<br>of my career, so he played a big role in my professional development.<br>I was able to partially repay that debt by providing occasional tech<br>support during his later years as Parkinsons reduced his physical<br>abilities but never his wit.
