Rick Bourgeois

[Schuh, Richard]

It is a sad day for the VM community. One of our Knights, Rick Bourgeois, has 
passed away. Rick supplied niche products, VPARS and VTAPE, that enabled the 
large scale development and testing of applications for the TPF environment. 
His creations were absolutely essential to that environment.

Rick was a man of principle,  integrity, and devotion. He was a tireless 
worker. For his customers he set the standard by which all other technical 
support operations are judged, and most fall well short of the mark. He will be 
missed, not only as a colleague, but as a friend. We, as individuals and as a 
community, have suffered a great loss.



Regards,

Nicely put. Rick will indeed be greatly missed.

I know that he valued his friendships with the community, and was greatly 
honored by his Knighthood. He had a ceremonial sword with Sir Rick of PARS on 
it, and left instructions for it to be displayed at his funeral.
