He was like a bright star in the community and always happy to answer all of our questions. I have asked him even when I was contemplating changing jobs and he answered in several long paragraphs. I do not think I have expressed my gratitude enough while he was with us but I will try to be as open minded and helpful as I have seen from him. His open source contributions will always be part of his legacy. We will truly miss him!
