Quote:

(CNN) -- Ray Dolby, the American inventor who changed the way people listen to sound in their homes, on their phones and in cinemas, died Thursday in San Francisco.

Dolby was 80.

The founder of Dolby Laboratories had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease for a number of years, and in July was diagnosed with acute leukemia.

I went to high school AND college with David. RIP. Thoughts and prayers to David and the rest of the Dolby family.
