I have not seen any mention on the forum of the passing of Wouter last week. 
May the founder of T4A rest in peace. Condolences to his family and close friends.

His untimely passing was also a shock to me.  Wouter will definitely be
missed by many here.  May he rest in peace and condolences to his family
and friends.

His brain was still as sharp as ever - he was a brilliant innovator and
engineer and he left a great legacy..

Hi 

Yes, Wouter's passing is a shock to us. I wanted to put out a newsletter to anounce his passing that will come out tomorrow.

What a character he was, charismatic, intelligent, tenacious.  He was a mentor to me for many years. He had his peak and retired to himself, but what a great effect he had on people.

I will forever be in awe of the man I met 23 years ago. 

May he rest in peace.

Johann Groenewald

Haven't known him, but he obviously started something great, something that grew beyond himself and keeps on living. There's a word for that: legacy.
My wife and I are really grateful and appreciative of it. We bet the whole T4A community is. 
We hope he rests in peace, with a well deserved feeling of fulfillment.
Our thoughts go to his loved ones, his friends, his colleagues.
