Dear all, It is with regret and sadness that I have just found that that Alex Wallis (or 'awol' as he was perhaps better known by many on IRC) passed away last night. He was 55.
He will be sorely missed by those of us who knew him. He founded the #fvwm IRC channel and for years he and I were the sole bearers in that channel watching it grow as it has. He liked that aspect very much. He also worked hard on fvwm-themes in the early days, creating his own theme which he would promote tirelessly to new users of FVWM. He was a strong believer in FVWM, and I think it's that which many here will miss. Alex saw something in me I do not, and that is faith and respect. He would promote my efforts of FVWM. I shall miss that. Requiescat in pace Sadly, -- Thomas Adam
