Werner Icking, the person, shone through warmly and sometimes with
a touch of humour through his many postings on otherwise technical
matters. One had the feeling of knowing him as a friend without
ever having seen him.
Werner Icking, the multi-faceted musician, computer scientist,
typesetter, archivist etc, is irreplaceable. That particular mixture
of talent and dedication is not often encountered. All of us, at one
stage or another, achieved more than we would have done, because of
Werner's unselfish assistance.
We owe it to his memory to keep Werner's work alive, spreading over
many of us what he could do all by himself, as well as we can.
