Subject: [PATCH wireless] MAINTAINERS: Remembering Larry Finger
Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2024 13:39:29 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240625103929.1332926-1-kvalo@kernel.org> (raw)

We got sad news that Larry is not with us anymore. He was a long time
Linux developer, his first commit was back in 2005 and he has
maintained several wireless drivers over the years. He was known for
patiently supporting Linux users with all sorts of problems they had.
Larry's work helped so many people around the world and I always
enjoyed working with him, even though I sadly never met him.

Rest in Peace, Larry. You will be missed.
