made major contributions to FreeBSD, the best known of which
is the import of the &man.dtrace.1 code. John's unique sense
of humor and plain-spokenness either ruffled feathers or
made him quick friends. At the end of his life, he had
moved to a rural area and was attempting to live with
as minimal impact to the planet as possible, while at
the same time still working in the high-tech area.</para>
