I am sad to announce that Cliff Wiernik passed away last night in his sleep after more than half-year fight with cancer.
Cliff had been a member of our eXpress++ community since 1999 and had attended every Xbase++ and eXpress++ event in America and also some events in Europe.
He will be missed.

Re: Cliff Wiernik
In receiving the news of Cliff's passing this morning from his wife Ann, I'm reminded of my first day with Aqua Finance, May 19, 2014.
After I was able to setup my desk and access my computer, Cliff was showing FCA and said, while a smile on his face and somewhat tounge-in-cheek, "I'm the boss--don't forget that." Of course he was kidding, but on your first day, you don't question things.
He and I got to know each other well and there's not a day that goes by that I don't miss him. What he was able to accomplish in FCA for Aqua Finance is his legacy, but it pales in comparison to the overall nice guy that he was--fun to be around and always cracking a joke.
I'll share the arrangements as soon as we are made aware of them.
