+@item Fred Fish
+Fred was a long-standing contributor to GDB (1991-2006), and to Free
+Software in general.  Outside of GDB, he was known in the Amiga world
+for his series of Fish Disks, and the GeekGadget project.
+
+@item Michael Snyder
+Michael was one of the Global Maintainers of the GDB project, with
+contributions recorded as early as 1996, until 2011.  In addition to
+his day to day participation, he was a large driving force behind
+adding Reverse Debugging to GDB.
+@end table

+Beyond their technical contributions to the project, they were also
+enjoyable members of the Free Software Community.  We will miss them.
