Rest in Peace Layton E

He could play the guitar so well. I owe a lot to him, growing up I wanted to be like him, specifically I wanted to be smart and make good money in the computer industry. He was an inspiration to me. He loved to play music. Layton was a brilliant engineer and designed processor chips with a drafting table, pencil, and ruler! He was a math genius and could prove if a chip had been designed with flaws that would cause heat issues by doing matrix inversions of the transistors (or something way more cool and complecated). He designed chips that could run on mili-amps or even pico-amps of power. He had some niche knowledge that was in very high demand and rare to find and could work with other very smart people and hold his own. Layton wasn't perfect, none of us are. I am not perfect and have just as many flaws as Layton, if not more. Rest in Peace Layton, I hope they have rock music in heaven. I miss you.

I remember when he lived with us in TX for a while and would play the guitar a lot, and taught me a thing or two!
