I really liked that his wife figured out how to submit a support ticket to send the death notice to his company, seems fitting in the age of remote work and in no way diminishing. As a tech geek, the tools of the trade are as comfortable as a favorite sweater, there's nothing wrong with a support ticket. Reminds me of something slightly humorous I encountered back in the 90's, based on my particular career path. I had used unix extensively in the time before tilde meant "login/home directory". Then I moved to windows and was doing C++ dev, where tilde means destructor. Reading Slashdot one day, there was an announcement that somebody had died, with a link to page about him, and it used an URL with a tilde and his name for his homepage, they way universities often did. Not knowing the convention, I thought "oh cool, somebody set up a memorial page and they used the destructor syntax in tribute!"
