[ih] RIP Danny Cohen

[Ross Callon]

I am so sorry to hear about this.

I am of course aware of his very significant technical work. However, I remember him best for his superb humor. I still have a copy of his “The world according to Finnegan”, which is a collection of his humorous works. 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.
