BMC,

It is with a heavy heart that I announce that we in the DTrace community
have lost one of our own:  the indomitable John Birrell, who ported DTrace
to FreeBSD, suffered a stroke and passed away on Friday, November 20,
2009.

[Snip :-( ]

I did not know John, but your tribute to him was the most touching and reflective that I have read for some time. It is always sad to suffer a loss (and I have had two within the last week); so I am certain that your sentiments will be well-received and echoed by the folks that did in fact know John.

My condolences to his family and friends.

Regards... Sean.
