Might I suggest the life of John Ehrman rises to a level that calls for a page 
on Wikipedia.

Since Wikipedia wants to be only a secondary source, these messages could be 
considered the primary source.

I would build the page but I am not a writer of anything but code.

All

I was so sorry to hear about the passing of John Ehrman.

Back on 11/20/17 I received this private email from John, 

“Hi, Don…. I retired from IBM in June 2016; at the same time, we discovered two 
types of cancer, so with treating that plus a couple of back surgeries has 
slowed me down a bit.   I hope all is well with you and yours, and that the 
recent hurricanes didn't do any lasting damage.  Regards ... John”

I replied but never heard back from him again.

I consider John Ehrman a friend, a true gentleman, and a technical hero.  He 
was leader of the IBM High Level Assembler Group and leader of the Assembler 
Group at SHARE.  I met John at SHARE many times and he introduced me several 
times when I made presentations at SHARE about the z390 Portable Mainframe 
Assembler and Emulator.
