Drew Speedie - Tragic Accident

Bad news travels fast and this is the worst! Marcia and I were stunned to learn that Drew Speedie, and his son Brent, were killed on Friday while on vacation in Yellowstone Park. We don't have any more details but our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, his family and all of his friends. Drew will be sorely missed in the VFP Community, of which he was one of the most prominent members and supporters.

We were honored to have known him both professionally, and personally, and both Marcia and I are at a total loss for words as we sit here thinking and talking about him, and his son, Brent, of whom he was so proud, and trying to adjust to the knowledge that they are gone! Drew, we will miss you and we are devastated by your passing.

When they made you, they broke the mold and we shall not see your like pass this way again.

Rest in peace old friend.

I don't know what to say.

I saw Drew Speedie once at the Developer Conference in Germany, and I really was a great fan of him...

Drew, we will miss you!!!

I have had the honor of attending many sessions at the VFP Devcons given by Drew. What an event they were and what a loss.

My most sincere thoughts are with his family

What do you think?
