In memoriam: Maurice Marrink

It is with great sadness that we must report the staggering loss of our
good friend and colleague, Maurice Marrink. Maurice died in a car crash
last friday.

Maurice was a dear co-worker, project member and good friend. He was
always enthusiastic, willing to lend a hand and above all friendly.
Coming from the northern parts of the Netherlands, Maurice could be
quite stubborn at times–a trait that is invaluable working as a software
engineer, especially when working in a group of strong minded people.

Maurice was a great asset to the Wicket community since Wicket became
open source. The Wicket team was fortunate to have Maurice on board
since last March. He was committed to the continued success of Wicket
and the Apache community as a whole.

Maurice has guided students that created the initial Wicket Dojo
integration (Wicket 1.1 timeframe, before Wicket Ajax). He put a lot of
effort into creating two security frameworks for Wicket, with the latest
and greatest open sourced: the Wicket Security framework (aka
Swarm/Wasp). He had many good ideas on the future of Wicket and
integrating his projects into our core distribution.

Within Topicus he was one of the pillars of our company–professionally,
and even more important: culturally. He was always organizing and
attending social events, nerd nights, cart challenges and board gaming
evenings. Just two weeks ago he was our hero when he arranged tickets
for a pre-screening of Batman: The dark knight at our local IMax
theatre.

Maurice, we miss you. All our thoughts and good wishes are with you and
your loved ones. May your soul find peace.

- the Wicket crew.

This is a big loss for wicket community.
Maurice also helped me a lot .
It's sad to hear this ...

I am from Taiwan , English is not my native language , I cannot express how
I appreciated his kindness.
I'll remember him.

Thank you , Maurice.

Let me publicly express my thanks for his work as well. While I'm new to
Wicket, I've seen Maurice's name often in the message archives. He responded
to requests for help quickly, effectively, and kindly. I have been deeply
impressed during my experience with Wicket, as much due to the quality of
the people running the project as to the quality of the framework itself.
Maurice especially represented the spirit of wisdom and service that I've
seen throughout the project.

Yes, very sad. I had the pleasure of chatting and mailing with him a 
couple of times, and was looking very much forward to getting 
annotations into the Wicket security framework. This is truly a loss for 
the Wicket community:(

RIP Maurice.

Who will continue his work?

Yeah. Mr. Mean will be missed greatly. He was a great colleague and a
super friend.
Always ready to give help when you needed it.  Still in shock thinking
about him being gone.

Although I had never met him, having followed many of his posts on this forum
for a while now, and having posted on the merrits of his security framework,
hoping for a wider adoption of Swarm and Wasp, I am deeply saddened by this
aweful news.

To those closest to him, know that our thoughts and prayers are with you,
his family, loved ones and friends at this sad time.

Well, you folks knew him best.  So, whatever you guys feel is appropriate.

I was just trying to come up with a way to somewhat permanently let
the Wicket community recognize his contributions to the project.

If I remember correctly, Maurice was quite satisfied that he came up
with Swarm and Wasp - I think that took longer than writing the actual
code :)

That said, his nick was mrmean, which sounds like a great name for a
security package.
