It is a sad day indeed. Dr. Huskey was one of the most influential, yet least known of the early pioneers. In addition to his work on the ENIAC, the Pilot ACE, the SWAC, and the Bendix G-15 were all designed or influenced by him. As mentioned in the memorial statement, one of his PhD students was Wirth. In addition, one of his master's students was Ken Thompson.
If I'm not mistaken, Dr. Huskey was the last living member of any of the pre-industry computer development teams. I cannot help but feel that this marks the passing of the founding generation of our field and the end of an era.
