Smalltalk Advocate James Robertson Has Passed Away

Suddenly, this past Thursday, April 17th, the staunch advocate for Smalltalk, James Robertson passed away.

I have contributed my Smalltalk Jobs report audio segment to James’ podcast since 2006, and I knew him as a passionate advocate for Smalltalk and our community well before that.

If you have a favorite memory you wish to share with his family, or if you wish to view a video of his funeral service, you may do so at his memorial page.

I and the wider Smalltalk community were enriched by his presence, and while his loss to us will be nearly as great, his legacy will be long lasting and not forgotten.
