He and I attended several retreats together in 2002 and 2003. I'd like to share a story from the first time I met him. > > I was a FreeBSD developer at the time and had done some work in the SCSI (CAM) subsystem.

Andre taught me a lot about ATA, and could be considered one of the grandfathers of libata. http://hedrick4419.blogspot.com/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/07/26/andre_hedrick/?2 Rest in peace, Jeff
