From c7049843db753475528ec2753c33065bc3e37258 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kalle Valo Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2024 13:39:29 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Remembering Larry Finger 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.
