This is sad news indeed. As far as i can tell, he had little presence here, but was a highly-knowledgeable, helpful, and frequent contributor to the MSFN forum's Windows 9x pages (which of course, includes DOS).

Among the useful DOS programs and drivers he had developed are: AHCI CD driver, Terabyte hard-disk driver, MS-DOS v8.0 IO.SYS de-compressor, advanced FDisk and Format, TRIM for SSDs, XFile (CLI file-management utility, very useful in batch files), and others.

Fortunately, his web site is now being re-maintained by his family, and over time, his software (now freeware, including source code) is being re-uploaded:

My thanks to his family for keeping his fine work available, and now available to all.
