Oh dear. I knew he had not updated his blog in ages - was he ill?

EDIT - I'm not taking the wee wee - I mean was it sudden or is this related to him doing nothing high profile for some time.

What a tragedy, the SQL community has lost a true innovator and outright nice guy. I always looked forward to hearing Ken at Pass if he was speaking.

Unfortunately..
I met him at the MVP summit when he presented his SQL Nexus tool for the first time..
Ironically we just started using the Nexus last week when MS officially released the tool kit..

Its a different feeling when someone you've met in person passes away..

May his soul rest in peace...

I read a few of his books..Very good stuff.
Guess this shows some of us how precious life really is.
Doesn't matter who you are or what you do everyones time comes without warning. God bless his soul and thoughts to the family.
