I am unhappy to relay the following message, which I download 
from the Drexel Hill RCP/M.  Irv Hoff was one of a select circle 
of CP/M gurus.  He authored much of the software that we CP/Mers 
use on a regular basis.  Even though he has most recently been 
involved in IBM, he will be missed by the CP/M community.

I'm sorry to report that Irv Hoff died peacefully at home 
yesterday, after a long and gallant battle with cancer.  His 
wife, Arlene Hoff, called my wife in Seattle to give the news, 
but left no other information.  I am attempting to call her, but 
I doubt seriously that I will be able to get through.  I'm sure 
cards and/or flowers would be appreciated.

I will advise if I hear anything further.
