It is with a very sad heart that I have to say farewell to a dear friend whom I have known for a long time. Patrick Tisseghem of U2U Belgium has passed away. Patrick has written numerous books on SharePoint and was a great teacher. My thoughts and condolences goes out to his family and friends.

Mike Fitz sums up what Patrick meant to the SharePoint world. He was one of the foremost people who started the journey and inspired a lot into getting into SharePoint development.

Farewell Patrick...You will be missed.
