Without him, there wouldn't be Epic. Here's a quote I found...
An interesting historical connection links these early EHR systems to modern EHR giants. Judy Faulkner, future EPIC CEO, encountered MUMPS through Warner Slack MD, who had moved from Wisconsin to Beth Israel in Boston. Dr. Slack connected with Neil Pappalardo, co-developer of MUMPS and co-founder of Meditech. Through these relationships, Faulkner met Pappalardo and adopted MUMPS technology. As she later reflected, "I thought MUMPS was a good thing, and we took it on here at Epic."
And a detailed version of the above story is near the top of the long story about Epic's history here: https://www.acquired.fm/episodes/epic-systems-mychart

Most of the same info as Julius' post, but a place to add condolences if desired or just read what other people wrote.
Nice article to blow my mind on a Friday!
Should the OnNew() methods be %OnNew()?
Shouldn't this:
Property myClassAccessObject = "";
Be this?
Property myClassAccessObject as MyClass;
