Aahz, co-author of Python for Dummies with Stef Maruch, recently passed
away.

Tiny death notice (with name typo) from the wilds of the Internet:

http://file770.com/pixel-scroll-10-15-21-i-know-what-pixel-you-scrolled-last-summer/

(12) AAHZ MARUCH (1967-2021). [Item by James Davis Nicoll.] Python
programmer, whose fannish activities date back at least as far as
classic USENET (alt.poly and other groups), died October 14
following several years of ill health. Survived by partner Steph
Maruch.

Editor's postscript: Alan Prince Winston earlier this year described
him as "an unstoppable-seeming guy" who "became a contra and square
dance caller and choreographer despite really severe hearing
impairment."

I met Aahz once. He always wanted to be a mononym person, and used his
partner's surname only reluctantly.

RIP. I never met him but I do remember that he used to post here. I
wasn't familiar with his web site. If it had interesting content, I
hope it is archived.
