Dear friends, I am so sad to hear that. I knew Juan for only 4 days. With his busy schedule he always found time to laugh, chat, support, help and advise. It's a big loss for CeIS & TC to miss such a great business leader, big hearted and devoted person to those in need. My thoughts & prayers are with all friends and collegues Souraya On Sun, Oct 25, 2009 at 12:04 PM, Eric Broekaert <[log in to unmask]>wrote: > Dear Friends > > It was so sad to hear that Juan has passed away. > He was a real inspiration for so many in the field.
