Dewayne Hendricks, my friend of nearly four decades, passed away last Friday at age 74. His
mentors were
Buckminster Fuller and
Paul Baran. He was a pioneer of wireless Internet connectivity, a serial entrepreneur, curator of an influential e-mail list, and for the last 30 years on the organizing committee of the
Asilomar Microcomputer Workshop.
For someone of his remarkable achievements he has left very little impression on the Web. An example is his
Linkedin profile. Below the fold I collect the pieces of his story that I know or have been able to find from his other friends. If I can find more I will update this post. Please feel free to add information in the comments.
