David...

This morning I received the shocking news that David Boschmans, a fantastic colleague and friend, has passed away last night. David and I got to know each other in the Belgian developer community about 5 years ago. Three years ago he joined Microsoft as the Developer Evangelist where we worked very closely together. During that time I got to know David as a smart and great person. The past weeks, he was recovering from health issues; everything seemed to go well (given the circumstances). Till last night.

My thoughts go out to his wife, his daughter and family.

 

David, we miss you and will never forget you. Rest in peace...

Update: You can write a message to David and his family at http://david.vsdotnet.be. If you have photo's with David, it would be nice if you could add them to the David Boschmans group at Flickr. This group will be a center location with several different memories.

Very sorry to hear this, I got to know Dave Boschmanns at Connect 2005 and at TechEd 2006, where he was always helpful and polite.  

Thoughts go to Dave's family, such sad news!

There are no words to say how sad this is. David was a fantastic guy and it was great to work with him in the community and for various events. We'll all miss him very much. My sincere condolences to Veerle, Fien and David's family.

Hey Tom, this is just awful. David was a great guy and a clever fellow. I'm sure he will be missed tremendously. It's not fair, is it?

Dear Veerle and Fien, I wish you all the best during these black days. Loosing your partner/husband and your father is horrible.
