I did not know John personally, only through his many posts to this site
and his wider contributions to HLASM.
It's fair to say his was a meaningful life, and that he made a
difference to many people and to many enterprises.
He was unfailingly respectful of others, a valuable counterweight in the
age we live in.
I'll breathe down a wee dram in his memory tonight.
Condolences to his family.
Vale John E.

Those of you who have followed this list for years know well that Dr. John
Ehrman was the motivating force behind the development of the High-Level
Assembler (I often referred to him as the God Father of HLASM).
I am deeply saddened to report that John passed away this morning (Tuesday, 20 February
2018) following a protracted battle with cancer. His wife, Tineke, reports: "He
died in his sleep, and is now at peace and pain free. John will be cremated; in the near
future there will be a memorial service at our church in Palo Alto."
I will convey any further information on the memorial to this listing.
