This is sad news, and I'm shocked indeed. I have not met Ortwin, but I've read many, many of his posts on the Forums and he is on the "Must Read" list when he posts to the iNug, as others have said as well. Certainly he contributed a great deal to 4D and to this community. He will be missed very much.
For me personally he's reached out to help me several times when I posted something or another that had me stumped. He didn't have to do that, he didn't know me, but it says a lot about a person who helps others he hasn't met and when it is highly probable the favor can't be reciprocated (he's a lot smarter than me!). The untimeliness is shocking and I'm sure his family is reeling. I wish them peace and help in their recovery from the shock. Maybe if someone who knows his family can collect these posts and get them to the family it would help some? Peace, Ortwin...we will drink to you, your work, and what you've stood for at the Summit!
