Lanny Friedlander has died

The founder of Reason magazine Lanny Friedlander has passed away. Nick Gillespie at reason reflects: Lanny Friedlander, Founder of Reason Magazine, RIP.

Here is the bit I found weird:
Lanny's death naturally puts us at Reason in a reflective mood. The strangest part of it is that, though we're all his heirs and beneficiaries, nobody currently working at the magazine ever met him. It's been that way for a long time. As Virginia Postrel, editor in chief of Reason from 1989 until 2000, told me via email, not only had she never met him, but during her time at the mag, folks didn't even know what had happened to him.
