[ih] Fwd: Re: RIP Danny Cohen

[Larry Sheldon]

I knew not the man, the work, or the book,



but I am assured that I use the work, and it appears that the book is 
still current, and I have ordered it, and I hope thereby to see a bit of 
the man.

Which is why as a youngster (of only 8 decades) I hang around here.

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.
