I have postponed writing this message for a few weeks now ... I guess we always tend to do this with things that we do not want to do. Writing the message now is a personal acceptance that yes, he went away. I am not in Moscow at the ECP2019, Jose Muniz is giving a keynote address on Test and Testing, dedicated to Fons. This is the first day of the conference and already the third talk dedicated to Fons' memory. Fons was HUGE - a gigant in our field. For so many in our community he was not only emblematic but personally providential. I am honored to have been among those who he counseled and mentored. I am deeply devastated by his passing away.
