The people mentioned here have been contributors to the various stages of
the development of the Raku Programming Language, but unfortunately have
departed this existence.  We thank them for their contributions and hope
to keep their memory alive here, as well as other places.

Jonathan Scott Duff (perlpilot)
-------------------------------
In the early days of the Rakudo implementation, Jonathan Scott Duff
implemented many of the NQP and Raku features that we take for granted
now.  In later years, he kept a very observant eye on developments in
the Rakudo and NQP code.

Jeff Goff (DrForr)
------------------
Ever since Jeff Goff got involved in the Perl community, he could be
found helping people. He was very active at events and conferences:
giving presentations, volunteering, and gaming with other attendees.

He also supported development as a release manager for the Parrot project.
Many have benefitted from his online presence, always ready to
help and answer questions.

He died in March 2020 in a snorkelling accident.

While I was going through the CREDITS file the other day, I couldn't
help but notice that 2 people in there had passed away.  So I thought
it would be nice to commemorate them more extensively in a separate
file, to be able to credit their work better, and keep their memories
alive.

Please note that this by no means is intended to be the final version
of this file.  If you feel like you have something to add to it, or
feel that corrections should be made, then please open up an issue,
or create a Pull Request for it.  Thank you!
