My condolences Sep 4, 2007

I learned the sad news this morning in China. Justin has been a great staff member. Although we have never met, I could feel his conscientious work attitude and enthusiasm toward this great community. His passing away is a great loss to ProZ and the translator community here.

I offer my deepest condolences to his family.

A friend from China,
Jianjun

Words can't express Sep 4, 2007

I am just now able to process this tragic loss enough to be able to post. Words cannot ever express the deep sadness we all feel at losing a friend & colleague so suddenly.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Chlebus Family. Justin was a wonderful, bright, passionate person I am glad to have know and worked with on a daily basis.

He will be missed.

Sorry for the news Sep 4, 2007

My last technical support ticket went to him just a few days ago, and I knew he was among those who support this great site. God bless you.

I will remember him. Sep 4, 2007

I will remember his programming advice and guidance, horrible jokes, discussions about "good" music, change wars, Bocce board, and much more. The office will be too quiet without him.

Too young.

My best wishes, along with those of my friends and family go out to all who knew him.

Fun Sep 4, 2007

When I called you with a problem
And I did so quite frequently
you would say “let me have a look real quick”



and you would make it happen in no time
then I would convey my thanks
and you would answer “no problemo”
in your broken Spanish.

When I called you with a problem
And I did so quite frequently
you would say “let me have a look real quick”



and you would make it happen in no time
then I would convey my thanks
and you would answer “no problemo”
in your broken Spanish.



And many times we would talk
on some community issue
on what would be good for members
on some feature, on some problem
or just play like kids and have fun
hey, having fur is in our mission statement
having fun is OK



So brother, son, friend, I want to rememer
the funny moments, sandwiches in Subway
Chilean hot dogs and black beer in Modelo
laughing so much that our faces hurt



and then dancing some Indian dance in the sidewalk
Us dancing in the Buenos Aires conference
dancing with Jason, a real gentleman
who fell to our playful spirit...



Such funny moments, dear Justin,
no one will take away from me.

Take care, wherever you are
brother, son, friend...

Just devastating :-( Sep 4, 2007

Enrique - thank you for sharing those photos. They give a great insight into Justin's sense of fun and laughter, for those of us who never had the chance to meet him in person.

Such a nice smile.
So young, such a tragedy.

Sincerest condolences to all ProZ staff for the loss of their dear colleague.
Love and best wishes to his family and friends at this difficult time.
