[SystemSafety] Some News About Bertrand Ricque

[Dewi Daniels]

That's terrible and unexpected news. Bertrand's death is a great loss to
the safety community. Bertrand was extremely experienced and greatly
respected. He was a peacemaker, always polite and reasonable. He will be
greatly missed by his colleagues on MT 61508-3. My condolences to his
family.

Yours,
