[UgaBYTES] Ben Waumans the founder of GDCO passed away in Eindhoven- Netherlands

Ahmed,
The twining concept that you started with Ben is a winning model. It will
definitely continue after his demise. I can only share with you what we in
the Catholic Faith believe, that once a good person passes on, he is
transformed to an angle who is forever present with you.

Know my bother that Ben is with you more than he was able to be in life,
strive to achieve all that you shared, for his spirit will support your in
mightier ways than he has done in life.

However, as humans, we want and love to chat and laugh with the ones we love
so we condole you and the Mr. Wauman's family. May you have strength during
this time of bereavement.

Kiringai
