<p>Dear Jean-Bernard</p>
<p>As you can see from the response, Alain will be sadly missed by
STEP-Manufacturing, but always be remembered as a key contributor
to STEP-NC, and all the subsequent efforts in model based
manufacturing that are rooted in its origin.</p>
<p>Let me echo the calls for you to convey our regrets to his
family. We know he was enjoying his retirement with many of his
telecon calls being made from exotic French Islands, so I am glad
he had a good, if too brief final phase to his life. <br>
</p>
<p>Thank you for conveying the sad news to us.</p>
Martin Hardwick<br>
Convener ISO STEP-Manufacturing
