A Tribute to Kevin Eric Anderson 1951-2007

Kevin Eric Anderson, passed away last Saturday afternoon,
August 11, 2007. He collapsed and passed away on his way
to his pool.
Kevin had been battling several illnesses in recent years,
including high blood pressure and diabetes, as well as
complications from an earlier bout with cancer in 1992.
Kevin Anderson was Founder of Cognigen Networks, Inc.
and Co-Founder of Leisure Audio Books.
His contributions to the internet world include:
- Writing the first affiliate system with the world's first
self-replicating affiliate page.
- Writing other codes, such as the one that integrates
personalization on splash pages in the traffic exchanges -
-- every time you see a splash page with your own name on it,
Kevin was the one to make that possible.
As a person, Kevin was an extraordinary person, a dynamically
amazing individual, a generous and thoroughly geniune soul,
would all be a vast understatement. In fact no words do him
justice. He was so gifted, so talented and yet so down-to-earth,
approachable and just plain friendly, that he will be sorely
missed by all those he touched.

Kevin is survived by his wife, Laurel, and their two daughters.
A friend and a mentor, Kevin will be sadly missed.
