Mourning the passing of a good friend

I posted here a few days ago about my friend March Orchant suffering a major heart attack. This afternoon I'm deeply saddened to know that Marc pass away this afternoon.

Marc was an extraordinary think and writer. While I never met Marc in person, we spoke on the phone and emailed many times. I've counted him among my friends for several years and I'm deeply saddened to find I'll never get the chance to meet him in person. It's interesting in this Age of the Internet how many good friends we come to count on that we never really meet.The loss of someone like Marc takes a while to process, but his shoes won't ever be filled, Marc was a treasure as a man and as a member of the tecnology community. His loss will be deeply felt by many of us.

What information  there is has been made available by Oliver Starr at http://owstarr.com/marc-orchant-updates-and-information/. Thanks Oliver, for keeping us all aware of this san chain of events.
