This has been a tough year for the technology industry. In March we lost Andy Grove, and in April we lost Bill Campbell. Sadly, in May we lost Bruce Williams. Bruce had been fighting Pancreatic Cancer for the past year and a half. He had been in an experimental program at UCSF, which extended his life at least a year. While I learned much from Andy Grove and Bill Campbell, Bruce had an even bigger impact on me, both personally and professionally, probably more than any other single person.
