Dennis M. Ritchie
<<br>>
http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/who/dmr/

   * Worked on Unix in the early (pre-ATT) days.  Wrote a significant portion of the Unix Programmer's Manual, First Edition.
   * Wrote technical paper on the Unix STREAMS I/O system.
   * Co-authored the white C Programming Language book [http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/cbook/index.html] along with [Brian Kernighan].

A man who changed the world with very few knowing who he was or that he ever existed. The world is a lesser place without him.
