Dr. John Ehrman obituary

[Clark Morris]

I found this link to a brief obituary
http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/mercurynews/obituary.aspx?page=lifestory=188482798
and this to post messages
http://www.lastingmemories.com/memorial/john-robert-ehrman?obituaries.

I was a participant on the SHARE/Guide Language Futures Task Force
with John (I made minor contributions) and enjoyed his company there.
He also helped me wordsmith various requirements for adding all of the
enhancements in the SLAC assembler to Assembler H.  Although they were
rejected, they apparently became part of the justification for the
Assembler we know today based on John telling me I could have one of
the announcement handouts without attending the session because I was
partly responsible for it being available.  We have lost a giant and a
good person.

Can't add anything meaningful to what others have said other than to echo

Re: Dr. John Ehrman

[Don Poitras]

I worked with John back in the 90s when I was part of the languages
group that he headed at Share. I always made it a point to attend
his pitches as they were full of information that I could use and
the hand-outs were always excellent. I just found that he had updated
his excellent "Assembler Language Programming for IBM z System Servers"
book:

http://idcp.marist.edu/enterprisesystemseducation/assemblerlanguageresources-1.html

I'm proud to say that I contributed to this. I found what I think 
is the smallest error possible in the version one of the book. There
was a table where the bits were described for floating point values
and one of the bits was wrong. :)

He will be very missed.

Oh no, I am sad about this bad news. Thanks Tony. 

Dr. J Ehrman was very good and he is THE Assembler King! He also wrote many 
books which were very educational!

Please be kind to send all of us condolences to Tineke.

Groete / Greetings

I knew John from my involvement with SHARE assembler committee, and through 
work with IBM's Federal Systems Division in the 1980s. He was a true gentleman, 
always kind, very smart, and an absolute pleasure to work with. I was delighted 
to have been able to chat with him (for the first time in years) at SHARE in 
Providence last year. He seemed very at peace.

The one time I sat with him after a Share presentation, he was super
helpful and patient...sent me a copy of a not til much later published
assembler book he had been working on.  He was a true asset to the
assembler community.

John was at SHARE in Providence in August. The week seemed to perk him up. We 
were even planning an Assembler Academy until he recently took a turn for the 
worse. I'm glad we got to see him then.

I am also deeply saddened.  John tended to speak quietly and was a kind 
and thoughtful person.  Yet his work with HLASM changed the world.


My condolences to his wife, and any other family that he has.

With deepest regard, Greg
