Shocked by the news… He was a legend in a SharePoint world. Unfortunately I was not in a position to meet him before leaving this world. Although I am a frequent follower of his blog, books (2), screen cast and many more articles. Even, I got to know more about him when I was in Brussels. Coz, he was a very famous SharePointer and co-founder of U2U - Belgium. 

Thx for everything that you have done for the community.  Personally, I know how much of knowledge I have absorbed from your articles, books, etc. My thoughts are with Patrick's family and you will be missed…
