Dirk Bruehl reports Peter (no other name given) reports that
Dr. C.H.Ting passed away on Tuesday (California time; I guess this
means PDT), and provides the following link:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/forth2020/posts/5142240509190674/
I do not know Ting personally, only through his work, in particular
his publications like "System's Guide to fig-Forth", "Inside F83"
(which is, surprisingly, organized completely differently from
"System's Guide to fig-Forth"), "Footsteps in an Empty Valley".
He is, of course, well-known for eForth, a version of Bill Muench's
bForth reduced for education purposes.

and see Ting's facebook account, there is a hint as well. https://www.facebook.com/chenhanson.ting
Apart from this I have not seen more yet.
I wonder who will write an obituary and where it will be found.
Very sad to hear this. Condolences to his family.
We really lost a Forth hero who did very much work to promote Forth.

unfortunately the impression was reinforced.

- antonRIP Dr. Ting and condolences to his family. His work made me first
discover Forth and his ethusiasm for expressing his ideas with new technologies helped me not write Forth off.
Haven't been able to find out anything about Ting's funeral yet.
Ting lived on the other side of the States, right across the country and with the Atlantic between us. So it's hard for me to figure that out.
I heard that cemeteries are rare there, unlike here in Germany? Maybe his remains are in an urn on the way to Taiwan?
If there is a grave that can be visited please let me know.
