I just heard that, after a long illness, Dennis Ritchie (dmr) died at
home this weekend. I have no more information.

I trust there are people here who will appreciate the reach of his
contributions and mourn his passing appropriately.

He was a quiet and mostly private man, but he was also my friend,
colleague, and collaborator, and the world has lost a truly great
mind.
