A very sad day for our industry. In case you did not receive the email tonight, Bert de Roo passed away yesterday.
Here is the notice from Frame Ready:
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the unexpected passing of Bert de Roo, creator of FrameReady software and founder of SoftTouch Solutions, Inc.
Bert was successfully recovering from heart surgery when he developed complications. Despite the efforts of a skilled team, he passed away on Thursday, February 22nd.
Those of us who had been fortunate enough to know and work with Bert have lost a colleague, an inspiring mentor, and more importantly a friend. To Bert, FrameReady was his home, the employees were his extended family, and his clients were his dear friends. He was a very generous and caring person who was involved in our local community.
No words can adequately express our sadness at Bert’s sudden passing, or our gratitude for the opportunity to have worked with him. He will be dearly missed.
He is survived by his wife, Evelyn, their two children and two grandchildren.
If you wish to express condolences or share a memory, please send your message to bert@frameready.com and we will see that it is passed onto his family.
