Yes, Bob Davis was on the IEEE MSC, and was a TD at NetApp for a few years in there... I'm not aware of any others. If this is true, I'm really sad to hear this news.
Yes Chuck, it's the person you knew.
Bob was the TD of NetApp and was the owner of scsi.com
(Summit Computer Systems, Inc.), a domain he registered
way back when the only registrar was Stanford. The funny
part is later in life he actually worked on the SCSI (disk)
standard. Though the website may have been taken down, email
still works.
I've been lucky to grow up with Patrick Davis, Bob's son,
as one of my best friends, and he told me of Bob's passing
last night.
Per Bob's request there won't be a services/funeral, but this
spring/summer there will be a party commemorating his life. It's
what he wanted. I don't know the details yet.
I knew his web site went down (scsi.com) where did you hear of his passing? Is there / was there a service?
