Jerry Whitteridge Sr Manager Managed Services [email protected] 480 578 7889 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Rob Scott Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2024 7:19 AM To: [email protected] Subject: EXTERNAL EMAIL: Greg Dyck It is with great sadness that I have to report the sudden passing of Greg Dyck. Greg has been working at Rocket Software for the last 8 years or so, but most of you will know him from decades spent working on the deep internals within both z/OS and DB2. A brilliant developer and software architect, he will leave his fingerprints on many core components and also in the memories of the countless people who benefited from his kindness and willingness to help. I came across Greg in the 1990s on IBM-Main and was amazed at the level with which he was prepared to educate and help the posters on the forum. I finally met him in person when he worked at Rocket and could actually shake his hand and thank him for everything he taught me over the years from reading his posts. I know that generations of mainframers have benefitted from his assistance and that he helped make everyone he came across a better programmer. He will be greatly missed.
