Harry Huskey
Computer scientist -- via the New York Times. A pioneer who created the first "personal" computer (in that it only took one person to operate it). Another humdinger from Sam Roberts at the New York Times. He wisely dug up obscure sources such as the old "You Bet Your Life" episode of May 10, 1950, and quotes it; a template of how to research and compose a resonant obituary.
