La communaut é Revolution est en deuil

[Richard Gaskin]

When I first got the email from Eric's son, I could not believe the 
news.  After it settled in I took a long walk in the woods, reflecting 
on his contributions.  Though I'd never met him in person, through our 
correspondences and his participation here he showed so much youthful 
energy it was impossible to guess his age.  He loved his work, and we've 
all benefited from that labor of love.  This is indeed a tragic loss to 
us all.

Some here have expressed a desire to see a memorial web site put 
together where his tutorials and other contributions can live on, 
inspiring new generations of programmers.  I mentioned this in my note 
of condolence to his son, offering to devote a section at revJournal.com 
if they feel that would be helpful.  They may decide to keep his own 
site running, I don't know.  In the coming weeks as things settle down 
there I expect we'll hear more.

For now, the funeral was this morning, and we'll keep the family in our 
thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time. May peace be with 
them all.
