To me, Bob is a silent hero.
He had been driving the development and maintenance of the ACPI
Component Architecture (ACPICA) project for over 2 decades and while
he was not vocal or otherwise visible too much, he was focused on
improving the code delivered by him to a community reaching far
beyond the Linux kernel.
Bob retired from Intel earlier this year after over 40 years of
continuous service and departed from software development as far
as I know, and he is missed already.
The kernel depends on Bob's contributions quite a bit, so he
deserves a CREDITS entry.
