RIP Michael Yoder
Mike Gilbert
I'm sorry to have to pass on the news that Michael F. Yoder, PhD,
formerly of Intermetrics, DEC (Tops-10/20), and Caltech, died last
week. The funeral is Saturday.
I will never forget how MFY enjoyed reading advanced math texts over
lunch, or how he wrote code so fast it seemed like you were just
watching a window scroll, or how you could always tell when he was
deep in thought because he started endlessly flipping his pen...
The original message that I got informing me of the news is included
below. I'll send a message with the directions to the funeral home
shortly (the link below doesn't work without some editing).
