I remember reading articles by @om in the Red Herring and other tech publications in the early 90โs. In a pre-Internet era it was those articles that kept me informed and continued to build my interest in technology and startups.
When I was a young pup reading those articles I used to wonder who the person was behind them. And then years later when I moved to Palo Alto, I actually got to meet Om. He was a true gentleman. Always kind and witty in his remarks.
The last time I saw Om was in South Park while I was up there for a meeting. We sat on the bench and chatted for a few minutes after having just accidentally bumped into each other.
Om was clearly one of the good guys. The outpouring of messages about Om just show the level of impact he had and the friendship and respect he earned from so many. ๐๐ฝ ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ
