1. My dad, Louis Zimmerman, passed away the week before last. It was very sudden and unexpected. I don’t post a lot of personal things on Twitter. But I wanted to say a few things about my dad's life and impact. 2. Dad was a network engineer whose work not only helped launch New York City’s 911 groundbreaking emergency dispatch system--which became a model for the nation--but he helped design and maintain the infrastructure for systems that formed the modern internet.
