[AccessD] Some sad new for the Access community

[John Bartow]

Jim,
Thanks for letting us know of that sad news.

I will always remember Ken as a top of the line programmer and author. I read his books and could understand the material. That's a remarkable feat. I still have half a shelf lined with his books in my office. I haven't opened one in years. But they remind me that there is quality, legible, intelligent authorship that can be found in the world.

RIP Ken

All,

 

Just wanted to pass long some sad news for the Access community; long time MVP and book author Ken Getz has passed away.

 

I personally never met him, but everyone that did said he was always willing to talk shop and share knowledge, was curious about anything related to
programming, and just an all-around nice guy.   For those that may not know,
he was one of the authors of the Access Developers Handbook series published by Sybex, which many consider to be the "bible" of Access Development.

 

  While he hasn't been active in the Access world for a while now, he will still be missed.

 

Jim.
