[Richard Hill]

[From Harry Bruce, Dean, U. Washington I-School]

Dear friends

It is my very sad duty to share with you the tragic news that our beloved
friend and colleague, Efthimis Efthimiadis passed away on Wednesday evening.
As you all know, he has been battling a cruel illness with great courage;
never losing his sense of optimism and fun. Efthi's wife Jagoda contacted me
this morning to share this sad news. I was able to convey the sympathies of
our entire community to her. She let me know that she is working on
arrangements for a memorial service tentatively scheduled for Saturday, May
7th. I will convey to you the details of this service when they are
available. I know that all your thoughts and prayers will be directed to
Jagoda and Nicholas.

When I came to Seattle twelve years ago, the first invitation that my family
received was to a dinner at Efthi's house. He was a warm, loving, cheerful
soul. We will miss him greatly.

Harry
