That is indeed hard news. I only had the pleasure of working with
him from a far. His force feedback work was one of the key elements
which lead me to the [hid] toolkit stuff...
He will indeed be missed...

I only met Gerard during last year's Linux Audio conference. I approached him after his first performance with my german-accent-ridden English and we had a first long conversation in English.
Later that evening I met him again at the bar where this tall man was talking to someone I don't remember - and he spoke in perfect German!
He was just too kind and too friendly to tell me immediatly that he knew German much better than I know English and that we could just as well switch languages to the one, his wife grew up with.
The next evening he rocked the house with his feedback joystick.
His passing is a huge loss.
