The following was posted on talkchess:

Don Dailey, my partner in the Komodo venture, has been transferred to a palliative care unit in the hospital. His leukemia has progressed to the point of no return, and he probably has only days left to live. His wife Mary agreed that it was better to inform the community of this rather than to wait until he dies to say anything. Don is at least glad to hear that Komodo will probably be in the TCEC final; hopefully he will at least live long enough to see that become definite. Don is 57 years old; a full obituary will appear here at the appropriate time.
Komodo will continue as a partnership between me and Mark Lefler, with Mary Dailey receiving an equal share of the proceeds. I'm in the hospital myself now, but I should be going home tomorrow with no further trouble expected.

My prayers go out to the Dailey family.

I got an email from Don about a month ago, asking if I'd looked at the Go programming language. He was in the process of learning it, and thought it had some features that I might like.

I am certain that Don's energy and curiosity accompany him on his further travels, and wish him a very fond adieu.
