So long and thanks for all the fish, Richard Whaley

I am back from my leave this week and have been working through my backlog of emails and other tasks.

Today, I heard some sad news. Richard Whaley, owner of Accolade Publications and long time Great Plains / Microsoft Dynamics GP stalwart has passed away after a long struggle with illness.

Richard is known by many of us as the professor guy who got around at conferences on a Segway, he was also a GPUG All star and one of the first Microsoft Dynamics GP MVPs.
