Really sad to hear that Bill Atkinson passed away. He's an incredibly important figure in the early development of GUIs, including his work on LisaGraf and QuickDraw. He was 72. https://www.facebook.com/bill.atkinson.9862/posts/pfbid02t4hRyjZM8oHuc8xubRmYEFcRJ5ievEnDabWSPY5qvdPjWoxNbuTSu2wP2wVK4uFjl

Facebook post by Bill Atkinson: Dear Friends and Family, We regret to write that our beloved husband, father, and stepfather Bill Atkinson passed away on the night of Thursday, June 5th, 2025, due to pancreatic cancer. He was at home in Portola Valley in his bed, surrounded by family. We will miss him greatly, and he will be missed by many of you, too. He was a remarkable person, and the world will be forever different because he lived in it. He was fascinated by consciousness, and as he has passed on to a different level of consciousness, we wish him a journey as meaningful as the one it has been to have him in our lives. He is survived by his wife, two daughters, stepson, stepdaughter, two brothers, four sisters, and dog, Poppy.
