Always enthusiastic and committed to improving or understanding the dynamics of the game ... It was always interesting reading (deciphering) the subtext of his posts and (for me anyway) understanding what the hell he was talking about some of the time.

I got the sense he was passionate about many things and was very active in life.

Taken before his time.

Status: offline 		I always read Herwin's posts with a slack jaw. The depth of his knowledge was beyond me, but it was always fun to begin a reply something like this: "I need a translator to really understand your point, but..." And that was just fun - knowing that there are very smart people out there who love the game, and who work with it in ways that are truly surprising and delightul.

Sorry to hear this news of Herwin's untimely passing. One of our steady and regular community. Blessings to his family.

RIP. I enjoyed Herwin's posts because I'm a fellow system analyst type geek.

It may be interesting for some to have a view on his broad interest and varied career:
