It is with regret and sadness that I read this announcement. Although
for most of us he worked largely in the background behind the Factory
umbrella the results of his input to the Squid Project have been greatly
valued and prized by many and shall continue to be so far into the
future. The gap he leaves is immeasurable for the loss of any one of us
affects the whole world in ways we cannot even imagine.

Consolations to his friends and family, we share their loss. Blessings
upon him, wherever he has departed for.
