  1. Let me add that hard working, dedicated, and unique are not only aired by colleagues, but also by all the data processing staff in governments that I have heard from. All will remember him with a smile and miss his ability to explain hardcore syntax and CSPro programming to everyone in his wonderful Frenglish.
