Obit for Bill Fink

Bill Fink, a systems pioneer and tech Guru, died on December 16th. His obit in the paper read...

Quote:
Mr Fink, from Belleville, Illinois, encountered an unhandled exception in his core operating system, which prematurely triggered a critical STOP condition on Wednesday, December 16, 2015.
Survived by blah blah blah.

Quote:
Diagnostics indicated multiple cascading hardware failures as the root problem. Though his hardware has been decommissioned, Bill’s application has been migrated to the Cloud and has been repurposed to run in a virtual machine on an infinite loop. < END OF LINE >
I wonder if he wrote that, or friends came up with it? Either way, it's a cool tribute to his passion and contribution.
