Corona SDK's founder RIP

Well I woke up to shock today. One of the co-founders of Corona died almost a year ago (May 17 2016). Although it is just now that it seems to be getting around the web a few days ago. I was fortunate enough to meet him at a meetup several years ago. His speech was very respectful and at the end he came up to me and was interested in talking more about OpenGL shaders. All of the examples he demonstrated still inspire me today especially the 2D physics engine and how he wrote his own iOS simulator with a homegrown touch keyboard (that had to have taken a long time to write). Here's a link to Corona's Forum about this https://forums.coronalabs.com/topic/68591-my-tribute-to-carlos-icaza-rip/
