    From MIchael Kalus@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jul 27 14:10:00 2022
    Haven't been able to find out anything about Ting's funeral yet.
    Ting lived on the other side of the States, right across the country and with the Atlantic between us. So it's hard for me to figure that out.
    I heard that cemeteries are rare there, unlike here in Germany? Maybe his remains are in an urn on the way to Taiwan?
    If there is a grave that can be visited please let me know.

    Cemeteries are not rare here. They are very common and very popular. If people choose to be cremated, it's not because there is not enough space for cemeteries.

    It seems, that the family wants to keep it it to themselves - what I can understand.
    It is just unfortunate, that there is nobody here in the Forth community to tell us at least this.
    I would appreciate to know where he finally rests, to relate him to a place. This is the link I found https://www.skylawnmemorialpark.com/obituaries/Chen-Hanson-Ting/#!/TributeWall

    I do not know Ting personally, only through his work, in particular
    his publications like "System's Guide to fig-Forth", "Inside F83"
    (which is, surprisingly, organized completely differently from
    "System's Guide to fig-Forth"), "Footsteps in an Empty Valley".

    He is, of course, well-known for eForth, a version of Bill Muench's
    bForth reduced for education purposes.
