With great sadness I wish to inform you that Donald Broadribb has passed away on October 13 of this year.

Don was a Mellel user but, much more that, a great donator in spirit and in deeds: Don diligently and devotedly localised Mellel, and created, wrote and updated his wonderful guide for beginners. Don was always enthusiastic about his work - no matter how small the matter at hand (and Mellel was but a side hobby, of course) - an Esperantist through and through it was measured in deeds as he helped Mellel user enjoy an excellent localised version to Esperanto.

Although I did not meet Don face to face, Don's generous spirit and graciousness came through nevertheless. He will be greatly missed by all those who knew him.

Sorry to hear that. He was always helpful and an encourager on the Mellel forums. Many thanks, Don. And blessings and comfort to his family.
