Wow. I remember Henry's contributions on comp.lang.c when the first ANSI standard for C was debated. His oft-used .sig line quoted Dennis Ritchie's objection to noalias.

I'm old enough to have read tons and tons of his posts to usenix from back in the day. Lots of fun, very talented guy.

Anyone know what he is doing these days? Enjoying retirement?
