14 #<h3>Our Greatest Loss</h3>
16 <p>On July 11th, 2000, Joel Klecker (also known as Espy) passed away at 21 years of
17 age. Noone who saw 'Espy' in #mklinux, the Debian lists or channels knew that
18 behind this nickname was a young man suffering from a form of <a
19 href="http://mdausa.org/disease/dmd.html">Duchenne muscular dystrophy</a>.
20 Most people only knew him as 'the Debian glibc and powerpc guy' and
21 had no idea of the hardships Joel fought. Though physically impaired,
22 he shared his great mind with others.
24 <p>Joel Klecker (also known as Espy) will be missed.
