As some of you may have heard already: Klaus Burkert has died last
Wednesday after a heart attack.

For a long time, Klaus has been a hard- and software designer
at Villagetronic corporation, connected to products like the several
"Ariadne" Ethernet and the "Picasso" graphics boards for Amiga computers.

While not directly involved with the NetBSD project, he has encouraged 
NetBSD developers a lot and provided information and hints and patches, 
as well as organizing early hardware and documentation access on some 
occasions.

I've had the pleasure to meet him although too few times and can say that
I really miss him.
