I have very sad news. My good friend, Brian Kantor, WB6CYT
<https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-qRxpLrc/1/X4/i-qRxpLrc-X4.jpg>,
suddenly passed away this week at his home in San Diego, California.
Brian retired only two years ago after 47 years of service on the staff
at the University of California San Diego (UCSD). Way back in the mid
1980s, Brian and I founded AMPRnet, the TCP/IP over amateur radio
network. He continued to manage it until his passing.
Brian recently created and served as chair and CEO of Amateur Radio
Digital Communications (ARDC), a charitable foundation funded by the
sale of unused AMPRnet IPv4 addresses. ARDC promotes STEM education and
amateur radio digital development through scholarships and by funding
the development of open source hardware and software.
Brian will be sorely missed and impossible to replace. Memorial
arrangements will be announced when known.

Phil, et al,
Very sad news. I first met Brian (and you) at the SCDCC (Southern
California Digital Coordinating Council)
in the early 80's. Had great get togethers at NK6K, Harold's house after
TRW swapmeets, along with Wally, WA6JPR
Mike Brock, Skip WB6YMH and many others back in the beginning days of
digital in amateur radio. As AMPR coordinator for
Los Angeles I did email Brian periodically, but not nearly enough. We have
lost a true friend of amateur radio and
AMPR.
Please pass along any information if there will be any service.
RIP Brian, thanks for your guidance, knowledge and talent. You will be
missed.

I caught wind of this approximately 6:45am EDT but was so shocked I
couldn't believe it so I wrote to Phil asking for verification. I was
stunned to find out that the news I received earlier was indeed true.
He often came to me asking for tips I had to share in some of the
projects he was working on to help better AmprNet as a whole and when he
asked me to help test them before they were announced I was quite happy
to do so. We shared sysadmin knowledge between us, bounced ideas about
things off each other and strived to make things as best as possible for
new guys to get on the AmprNet.
He was one to answer emails almost instantly no matter what time of day
you wrote them, and stayed on top of things to insure amprgate was
running for the good of those who rely upon it.
I recently shared knowledge of a BSD distribution in the works that will
feature a full ax25 stack and he was quite interested in obtaining it to
try out. I wish he was able to see that day.
My condolences to KA9Q, BK's family, and all of us who are impacted by
this sad news.

Very sad news today. After a long hiatus from the 44Net, I was pleasantly surprised that
Brian answered one of my requests for help in his usual friendly and helpful manner. We
also exchanged a couple of friendly emails about cats. Brian's accomplishments speak
for themselves, and he will be truly missed.
I offer my heartfelt condolences to his family and to the community.

12:42 p.m.
I had the pleasure of a few conversations with Brian about 7 years ago
when I first started tinkering with AMPR and packet. I never bothered to
google the man or his creds before we spoke. Our conversations were very
casual and we talked like fellow IT geeks for a few min, shared a few
network jokes and went on about things. Later I looked him up after he
talked a bit about working at UCSD and seen the list of accomplishments
and felt privileged that I had a conversation with him. I feel
privileged to have spoken to one of the greats in the IT community.
