Life is great!
This might be not a new news but for some of people who doesn’t know about it. Here we go…
It get this from OpenBSD mailing list…
With great sadness, I regret to inform you that Itojun will not be presenting his great knowledge of IPv6 at PacSec. I have been informed by several sources that he passed away yesterday.
Funeral services will be held on Nov 7th at Rinkai-Saijo in Tokyo. There aren’t many details of his passing, so please let his family and relatives mourn in peace for now. My heartfelt condolances go out to them, and all of his many friends.
I knew Itojun as one of the smartest and kindest persons I have ever met. He helped everyone around him. He graciously hosted and assisted many foreigners new to Japan at the PacSec conferences, and was a good friend to all. He would go to extraordinary lengths to help anyone around him. We will all miss him - and his work on IPv6 will continue to help us for a long time..
He once said to me, “When a professional race car driver races, his pulse gets lower and he relaxes. When I code it is the same thing.” I’ll miss him
driving around in his prized Fiat 500… and I hope we can all proceed to help fix our V6 networks without his gentle, brilliant, and insistent
coaching…If you knew or respected him, he would have wanted any energy you put towards grief to be spent on speeding the adoption and the robustness of the version 6 internet to which he devoted so much of his extraordinary life to.

May he rest in peace.
