This is shocking.
I never met Gerry in person but had the opportunity to work with him
on the project for the last year. As a co-lead ge did a lot for this
project even during the hard time when his mother passed away.
Gerry, you and your passion for the project will certainly be missed.

This is very sudden news about Gerry Singleton. He died of a heart
attack on May 12th in a Toronto hospital.
I just talked with him on the phone about 5 days ago. He was discussing
the User Guide, and his plans for moving it forward, and I found out his
mother passed away about a week ago. Just the type guy he was, he
mentioned what was going on in his personal life after the project was
being discussed.
He has been co-lead on this project since May of 2004, and was helping
the project along for awhile before then. I consider him to be a very
close friend, even though we never met in person. Which is the way it
is with online communities like ours. We have talked about a trip to
Toronto at some point, but always felt there was time.
My thoughts go out to his family, especially after losing two members so
quickly. His absence will definitely be felt.
