Hello to all,
I wish to extend my deepest condolences to Dean's family, friends and
colleagues at this time of sorrow.
I am a new BrailleNote user, and had only one chance to talk to Dean over
the telephone. His kind and wonderful step by step help with my product was
very much appreciated. I remember his laughter when I told him how familiar
his name is through this list. It is hard to accept that there will be no
more messages coming from him to this great list. He will be very much
missed.

STATEMENT FROM RICHARD MANDER, HUMANWARE'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
It is with profound regret that I have to advise Dean Jackson, HumanWare's
BrailleNote Product Specialist, passed away suddenly yesterday at his
home.
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.
Sincerely,
Dr Richard Mander
CEO, HumanWare
