I just found out the Chandru Murthi passed.

I was honored to work with him for several years.

Here is a facebook post talking about it:

He was my goto for dictionary items and F functions.

It's a sad day for me.

There's a (possibly apocryphal) Chandru story that I remember from the olden days....  A persistent, gnarly bug kept popping up deep in the bowels of English, and it stymied everyone at Pick Systems who'd looked at trying to fix it. Chandru sat down, looked at the assembly mode in the editor for a few seconds, and reversed two lines of code. It worked perfectly.

May or may not be true, but it captures perfectly the essence of his intellect and deep knowledge of the internals of the system that no one else could match.  He'll be missed.

Yeah, I heard a lot stories from him when we would have a break from working, normally at a sushi place for dinner. He was a miracle worker when it can to the internals.

He would find stuff in the early versions of QM, because we use it in PICK mode, which helped QM progress so much.
