So long and thanks for all the fish, Richard Whaley

This is a reposting of an article I originally wrote on my Developing for Dynamics GP blog.

I am back from my leave this week and have been working through my backlog of emails and other tasks.

Today, I heard some sad news. Richard Whaley, owner of Accolade Publications and long time Great Plains / Microsoft Dynamics GP stalwart has passed away after a long struggle with illness.

Richard is known by many of us as the professor guy who got around at conferences on a Segway, he was also a GPUG All star and one of the first Microsoft Dynamics GP MVPs.

Professor Richard

Here are some posts from community:

• Leslie Vail: Richard Whaley has passed away; 7/1/51- 7/1/2014
• Mark Polino: Richard Whaley has passed away; 7/1/51- 7/1/2014
• MSDynamicsWorld: Microsoft Dynamics GP community remembers Richard Whaley as educator, MVP
• Jivtesh Singh: Microsoft MVP Award, and a big loss in the Dynamics GP World
• Beat Bucher: Good Bye Richard! (On GPUG Community Forum)

Now you can run around in Heaven without your health getting in the way.

Till we meet again.
