The UofUtah lost one its significant alumni, John Warnock, on Saturday.
John received Bachelor's and Master's degrees from the Department of
Mathematics, and his doctoral degree from the Department of Electrical
Engineering.
After jobs at Evans & Sutherland in Salt Lake City, and Xerox PARC
labs in Palo Alto, CA, he later went on to co-found Adobe Systems with
Chuck Geschke (1939--2021), and the PostScript, PDF, and font
technologies, and many others, that came from their company changed
the publishing model of the entire world.
