] Alan Eldridge (AlanE) passed away on 6 June 2003 in ] Denver, Colorado, USA, apparently the result of a ] self-induced overdose. ] ] Born on 15 December 1961, Alan moved from Iowa to New ] York City some 15 years ago to make a life for himself as ] a first rate Unix programmer. Recently, however, his ] professional and personal life was severely disrupted, ] and as a result, Alan moved to Denver to start anew. ] ] A member of the KDE on FreeBSD Core Team, both a FreeBSD ] and KDE committer and maintainer of numerous FreeBSD ] ports, Alan will be sorely missed by all those of us who ] knew him personally, by those who knew him only through ] his work and, indeed, by the entire FreeBSD and KDE ] communities at large. |
