Dear friends, clients, and users of our software,

It is with heavy hearts that we write to let you know that Bruce Claremont, owner and founder of Migration Specialties, Inc., died on May 6 in an airplane accident together with three of his friends. Bruce leaves his mother and two sisters behind. Our first thoughts are with them in this difficult time.

We’ve had the privilege of working with Bruce for the last 15 years as we developed, sold, and supported the FreeAXP and Avanti emulators. Bruce was a great, utterly reliable person to work with, and we will miss him terribly.

As Bruce often talked about the devastating impact of wildfires on Colorado forests, you may wish to donate in his memory to the Colorado Tree Coalition (www.coloradotrees.org).

While we are still in the process of working out how to move forward after this terrible event, you may contact Camiel with any questions you may have at camiel - at - migrationspecialties - dot - nl.

With warm regards,

Camiel Vanderhoeven

That's terrible news. 8-(

Thanks for letting us know. I had corresponded with Bruce a few times
over the years, but didn't know him well.

I worked with Bruce at DEC and a few other projects. Hearing this on the local news a few days ago was a shock.

Camiel,

Thank you for posting the admittedly tragic news. I knew Bruce from seeing him at various symposia and seminars and appreciated his participation. I still use FreeAXP on my laptop for Alpha emulation. Condolences to his mother and sisters. A terrible loss, far too soon.
