With great sadness I learned from Ben Brosgol that Jean Ichbiah passed on Friday, 26 Jan 2007

Ben said that Jean had a brain tumor around a year ago, and he had a serious fall last Autumn in which he fractured his skull. He was in rehab for several months, and I believe that he had been home (in Burlington, Mass.) for several weeks.

Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, January 30, at 12:30 pm:

Temple Shalom Emeth 16 Lexington Street Burlington, Mass.

To quote Jobn Barnes:

"Jean had an amazing understanding of the basic concepts concerning what programming was really about. Ada may have its flaws but it is a damn sight better than anything else I know.

Jean will be remembered as the inspiration for ideas which have driven many of our careers."




Jean through creating Ada changed my life. One of my best periods of employment was when I worked for Alsys. It's a sad loss.
