It saddens me greatly to know Pat Tisseghem passed away yesterday. Every single time I met Pat at a conference or had dinner and drinks with him he was energetic, smiling, and a fun guy to be around; and that is how I will always remember him.
My heart goes out to his close family and friends and I wish you all the best!
