I am deeply saddened by your loss. Your dad helped me a lot when I was struggling with Clarion in Windows back in the 90’s. He was a great inspiration for me when I needed help. He will be missed by the whole Clarion community. -Bob

Hi Natalie,

My condolences!

I knew your dad, and got to spend some time with him, back in the 90’s when we often travelled to the same events all over the world. I fondly remember hanging out with him in Australia and New Zealand, as well as in more likely places like Amsterdam, London, Tennessee and Florida.

He was a rock in the community and will be missed.

Regards,
Bruce

Sorry to here that Natalie - thanks for letting us know and sincere condolences.

I actually won a copy of Gus’ Handy Tools at a conference out here in Australia many years ago. He was well known throughout the Clarion world and not just in Canada and the US. I never knew Gus was originally from Belgium!

Thinking of you and all your family.

Dear Natalie,

I was deeply saddened to hear of your father’s passing. Please accept my most sincere condolences to you and your family during this difficult time.

Gus was a talented developer, and CW Handy Tools was an invaluable resource for so many of us in the Clarion community. His contributions have left a lasting impact, and I know many will remember him not just for his work but for the person he was. The community is truly poorer for his loss, and he will be greatly missed.

If there’s anything we here at ClarionHub can do to support you during this time, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Warm regards,
Mark
