Shocked to hear this news. I never met Adrian in person but I had pleasure to participate in discussions on this mailing list. I loved the way Adrian used reply newbies like me. He has always been polite and helpful. He will surely be missed. We can pay tribute to Adrian by code naming this year release of Ofbiz as Adrian. Apart from giving tribute to his work, we can reach out to his family through skype or some other channel and pass out the condolence to his family members. PMC members can physically sign a document listing some of his contributions and passing that to his family as his kids will get to know how great their father was. This will inspire them.
