Another Loss - RIP Russell Shaw

I’m deeply saddened to learn of Russell Shaw’s unexpected passing. I just learned of this from my friend Andy Abramson.

Russell Shaw R.I.P.

It is with the most profound sadness that I have to report the the untimely passing of Russell Shaw, a blogger, journalist and friend.

Russell passed away suddenly in his hotel room in San Jose Thursday night or early Friday morning. According to his girlfriend whom I spoke with after being advised of Russell’s unexpected death by CNET Editor in Chief, Dan Farber just moments ago.

Sheryl and I were looking forward to seeing Russell at VON next week. I hadn’t seen or spoken to him much since we saw each other last at the ITExpo in Los Angeles.

RIP my friend. You will be sorely missed.

Russell’s insights and keen watching of the industry will be sorely missed.
