The comments here focus on WordPerfect, reveal codes, etc, as is natural for a tech site.
But what struck me reading this obituary is that he was a graduate of Brigham Young University, lived in Utah, and was a strong LGTBQ+ advocate, appearing to be a member of that community himself. I can't imagine that was easy, especially in the past (googling shows it is still condemned by the LDS church today) and he seems to have tackled it through very strong philanthropy and support.
Kudos. Kindness and support for those who need it is a greater legacy than any technology.
