From: "zide du" To: "IOI General Assembly" , "International Committee of the IOI" Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2006 22:32:52 +0800 Subject: [IOI-GA] IOI: Mourn Mr. Lionel Hartmann with deep grief OBITUARY NOTICE Dear IOI colleagues, I am sadly telling you that Mr. Lionel Hartmann, the former Executive Director of the IOI, passed away on Friday (Feb. 24) evening after a difficult two week struggle, I got this sorrowful news from his wife Caryn Hartmann last night. It is heartbreaking for us to lose such a kind man who made outstanding contributions to the IOI and its development, we all mourn him with deep grief. As the president, I will try to send an envoy as a representative of the IOI to South Africa to mourn over his death on the memorial meeting. I will deliver a memorial speech afterwards. If you have any words to express your sympathies or speak to Lionel's wife, please email to email address: lhartman@iafrica.com, or you can email me by zidedu@ict.ac.cn, I will pass your words to his family. With kind regards to you all. Zide Du President of the IOI Feb. 27, 2006 _______________________________________________ IOI-GA mailing list IOI-GA@listserver.tue.nl http://listserver.tue.nl/mailman/listinfo/ioi-ga
