Hey guys,
Just noticed this on comp.lang.c and thought you might want to know. :-(

I am sorry to report that C.B. "Chuck" Falconer has passed away. He used to
be a regular in alt.folklore.computers, comp.os.cpm, and comp.lang.c. He
had a long and involved history with computers and programming. He was born
in Switzerland on September 13, 1931 and passed away in Damariscotta, Maine
on June 4, 2012. I'm sure most everyone here remembers him and his posts to
Usenet. One of his many accomplishments was writing an article for an early
Dr. Dobbs magazine on implementing floating point on the Intel 8080
microprocessor.
His resent resume and the downloadable files from a recent web page of
his... can be found at You can a recent resume of his at the ClassicCmp

I know I'm *not* the only person he has helped in his time on Usenet. I'm
sure many here will mourn his passing.
