His tombstone had better say “Goodbye.”
Imagine being such a legendary part of computing history just because you recorded a few voice lines for some upstart that sold internet access by the hour.
He didn't even work for the company, his wife did. She had him record the lines on a tape recorder in their livingroom. She sold it to the company for a few hundred dollars.
