I've been behind on the mail list for a while, and now am stunned by this news.

Henrik was so bright and fearless.  He's the only person who really worked through my first attempt at modules, and understood and worked with  the reorganizeEverything logic.  He was a tireless and enthusiastic collaborator.  I now feel double pain that we were not able to get this into the mainstream in a way that worked for everyone.  His font work was also extraordinary, and I'm glad to find that paper on "Universal Composition".  But too late, alas.  Aaaugh.

Thank you G–ran, for letting us all know.  It would indeed be nice to get something substantive or at least decorative into Squeak as a memorial.
