We are so sad to inform that our friend Andreas Hoegger passed away last Sunday, 16. Feb 2020 during jogging in the woods.
His wife and young kids now have to grow up without their loved one and beloved daddy.
Andy's path ended way too early at age 42.

Andy was one of the brains and an active mentor of eclipse scout and inspired so many people creating vivid and comprehensive software.
We miss his friendly and warm character, his optimistic way of living, talking and debating with him.

Andy was eclipse scout.
Andy was BSI.

Love and fare well Andy!

I'm devastated.

When we first started using Scout in our projects, Andy met up with us on a monthly basis and I got to know him as an optimistic, dedicated, friendly, helpful person. He was not just a consultant or colleague but became a friend.

My thoughts go out to all who knew him but especially his family and kids!
