This very sad news came just before Christmas: Robert Zawadzki has died on December 22nd.

ProZ.com community will remember him as a passionate organiser of a pre-conference powwow in Kraków, Poland as well as a New Years Powwow in 2004. An active forum participant, always warm and friendly, helping colleagues out with various technical issues.

We will miss him.

    Hard to believe Dec 26, 2006

    I always read his good humor in the forums with a smile. What a sad loss, Magda, just when we are about to start a new year.

    My condolences to his family and to the Polish community, to all Prozians.

    My heartfelt condolences to his family Dec 26, 2006

    I remember Robert very well from the Kraków dinner, which he had organized. He was always very friendly and enthousiastically telling about the interests he and his son had in computers and mathemathics. How sad for his family!

    Nice and generous guy, very proud of his son and daughter with a very brave and sweet wife. They did all they could to make our stay pleasant.

    It's so sad, Robert. I wish your family all the necessary strength.

    I also remember Claudia praising not too long ago Robert's (and Magda's) wonderful hospitality in Poland, in another thread I started about powwows ( http://www.proz.com/topic/58204 ).

    So it is rather shocking to learn now about Robert's death.

    I just posted the following photo in another thread (in the Spanish forum), but I thought it would fit here as well:

    Sad news Dec 26, 2006

    Last year, Robert was kind enough to help me, a total stranger, with a document that was giving me some trouble. I will not forget his generosity and eagerness to help.

    I offer my most sincere condolences to his family, for the loss of a good man.

    My condolences to the comunity, his close friends and, with this particular respect we mexican have for death, to his family.

    Larms for him Dec 28, 2006

    I met Robert in Krakow twice, as he participated to "my" Powwow.
    May he rest in peace in his, my, beloved city.

    Sad news Dec 29, 2006

    He didn't know me, but when I had a huge Trados problem, he was there to help me, to solve my problem and I could deliver a translation in time. He even took a time to explain what I should do next time. We have lost a colleague and a good person. But, two kids have lost a father... how sad.
    My deepest condolences to his family.

    Regards

    Clarisa

    I only found out now... Mar 16, 2007

    And struck me so heavily.. I met him just twice, in Krakow and he was an impressive person - I just don't want to repeat what has been said above; He was a great colleague. Peace to His Soul
