[TYPO3-dev] Terrible news .... Serge Vleugels lost his life

[Koen Tilley]

Thursday, Serge Vleugels, active TYPO3 user and gifted programmer, fell from
his sailing yacht near Vlissingen (Holland).
Because of the strong currents he wasn't able to save himself and drowned.

Several boats and a helicopter have searched for quite some time, but were
not able to find him. The authorities decided to stop the search.

This tragic accident is a great loss.
His girlfriend loses a very special partner.
His friends and family lose their Serge.
I lose a friend and colleague.
The TYPO3 community loses an enthusiastic supporter and a talented member.

Whether you have known him or not, I hope Serge will live on in your minds.

Kasper interviewed Serge in a podcast that was released on the 4th of
December 2007:  Casestory: Crosslinking implementation (see
http://typo.org/podcasts/kasper )

People who have known him and would like to leave a word to his family and
friends, can send this to me (k.tilley at semaforce.be).
I will make sure they receive it.

Kind regards
