MAINTAINERS: Remembering Larry Finger
We got sad news that Larry is not with us anymore. He was a long time Linux developer, his first commit was back in 2005 and he has maintained several wireless drivers over the years. He was known for patiently supporting Linux users with all sorts of problems they had. Larry's work helped so many people around the world and I always enjoyed working with him, even though I sadly never met him. Rest in Peace, Larry. You will be missed.
