Life is frail
On October 16th, we said our farewells to our fellow passengers on the Perl Whirl / Linux Lunacy cruise - a group of less that 150 people. I have just learnt that Markku Verkkoniemi, a member of that group, passed away on October 19th as a result of a motoring accident.
I didn't know Markku personally, but he was certainly very much around and enjoying himself, and a "real nice guy" on the cruise. I've been reading in the last few minutes and I understand he was also a distinguished linguist with many other hidden talents. To quote his cabin-mate from the trip: "He demonstrated how we should all live life to its fullest. So let's celebrate a good life and benefit from his example." Here, here.
