perlnews runrig <p>The internet is a strange universe where we mostly know one another (or don't really know one another) through bits and bytes and blog entries and email. It was through PerlMonks that I first knew of [id://72267], and found that he lived relatively nearby, and we met up once. It was about a year ago (more or less) that he came to be working at the same place I was through a different consulting agency (though it's a big company so I didn't see him much). Then he disappeared, I emailed him and never heard back, and finally just recently I got around to asking someone about him, and was told that he passed away. So long Vahe... :'-(</p> <p><small>Cross posted from [http://use.perl.org/~runrig/journal/36804|use.perl.org] [http://use.perl.org/comments.pl?sid=40149&cid=63713|by request].</small></p>
