William English died a few weeks back.

I didn't see a thread or anything pop up in any of my news streams, so apologies if this is old news.  but William English, a co developer of the computer mouse with a very British name,  died at 91years old on the 26th July.  I really think the tech community should take a second to recognize people like him who have shaped the technology we use today.  We often get caught up in the rhetoric about old people not understanding technology, but when was the last time we stopped to consider some of them were at the bleeding edge of it their whole careers?
