You're not the first one looking for him. In the Dolphin Smalltalk newsgroup they were looking for him too a year ago or so. I don't know if they ever found him. Good luck. He is a valuable Smalltalker. Regards, Esteban.
Thanks. This is surprising, he was really young and this is sad. Stef I used to enjoy Bill's perspective on things coming to Pharo from Dolphin. It would seem there is unfortunate news.

Wilhelm "Bill" K. Schwab Ph.D., 48, of Gainesville, Florida, died Friday September 7, 2012 at a friend's home, after a determined battle with cancer. [...] His software was far more reliable than the commercial operating systems on which it ran. He even wrote his own "object request broker," a specialized networking software tool, using Smalltalk, an exotic computer language. With his tool, he created, implemented and maintained a fully functional handwriting-capable anesthesia medical record system that was well ahead of its time, and was used for years in actual patient care in multiple operating rooms. His software never required "downtime."

Thank you. It's a bit shocking that it happened a year ago. I figured he was off hacking and would come back to show us something cool :) I will miss his valuable contributions and unique perspectives... ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/OT-Looking-for-Bill-Schwab-tp4732479p4732550.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
That is indeed really sad to hear and a bit shocking that we only learn about this now. On 26 Dec 2013, at 16:22, btc@openinworld.com wrote:
