With great sadness we learned yesterday of the peaceful passing of @npub10sh5...m4qw last Saturday. In the last 14 years, as a W3C Invited Expert, Gregg co-edited 9 standards and a dozen other specs. He also implemented them all and contributed test suites that #w3c groups are still using. His implication in the JSON-LD Working Group, that he co-chaired, was instrumental to the success of JSON-LD. For all this, but also his friendliness and good nature, he will be dearly missed.
