For the past three years, Dean made his cheerful presence felt around HumanWare. He has been a popular and valued colleague to all of us, and became a friend to many on the HumanWare team. Dean was deeply committed to his work and to BrailleNote customers, and it wasn't uncommon for him to be sending e-mails in the middle of the night, or making calls to the other side of the world at 4 AM. His work administering our BrailleNote user list made him a popular figure among the BrailleNote user community. His attention to detail and team spirit had a measurable positive impact on the success of the BrailleNote through his work in our Research and Development team. Dean was also a talented singer, enjoyed work with the Internet and audio production, and played a key role in his church activity. His life was tragically short, but he lived every minute to the full, and the world is a better place because Dean Jackson lived in it. All of the staff at HumanWare worldwide wishes to express its condolences to Dean's family at this sad time. Dean's funeral will take place at the Lincoln Road Bible Chapel, 66 - 68 Lincoln Road Henderson Auckland on Saturday morning at 11:30. Darryl Sherwood and Jonathan Mosen will be representing us at the service. HumanWare will also be working with Dean's family and local church to organise a memorial service in Christchurch for Dean's friends and work colleagues. We give thanks to Dean for enriching our lives.
