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.
