2004.11.19: It's with great sadness...
...that I learned of the passing away of Roelof J. Engelbrecht. Roelof has been an exemplary contributor to the SETI scene through discussions in the seti forums and not in the least with his beautiful SETISpy tool.
My condolences go out to his wife Loela, his family and friends. May Roelof ride peacefully among the stars. Tussen de sterren zult gij verblijven.
