Dear all,

Many of you here may know Jacob Sparre Andersen.

I'm very sad to inform you that after a short but aggressive illness,
Jacob died yesterday...

He was a frequent contributor to comp.lang.ada and various other
Ada-related forums.  Over the past decade, he presented and helped
at FOSDEM's Ada Developer Rooms, at Ada-Europe conferences, and many
other events.  Since several years he was News Editor for Ada-Europe's
Ada User Journal.

I will remember Jacob as a kind and very helpful guy, always ready
to step in to help, and to explain issues important to him.

He will be sorely missed...

Dirk
