Frank Kabel: A Sad Day for the Excel Community
Hi Everyone!
The heading expresses our distress at a loss to the community of Excel. It is with the greatest of sadness that I must report the news that Frank Kabel has died in a tragic accident whilst on holiday in his home country of Germany. I'm afraid that at this stage, whilst the news has been confirmed from his employers, we know nothing more. It falls to me to try and do justice to a good mate on behalf of Bob Phillips, Ron de Bruin and all of Frank's other many "Excel friends". Frank was not only a very major contributor to these newsgroups but he was also a great innovative developer and friend to all. Despite English being his second language his replies to public and private correspondence were always well worth reading for content and charm. It is difficult to believe that Frank only started posting to newsgroups in late 2003 but his posts were immediately prolific and helpful to all. At one stage Frank was such a prolific poster we even thought that he was several people. It was difficult to comprehend how he could compose so many excellent replies at such a high speed. Frank was our newest MVP Excel and he achieved this recognition at the same record speed that he was used to working at. It is distressing to many outside Germany that we never got to meet him in person. Here though is a photograph that we can remember him by. http://www.jumper.ch/infos.htm Many thousands will have benefited from his efforts to help and educate; even more will benefit over the years from the time and considerable energy that Frank devoted to developing and sharing his knowledge. Bob Phillips, Ron de Bruin and I worked many hundreds of hours with Frank on projects such as QDE (Quick Date Entry) and the EasyFilter Addins. A pre-production Addin CFPlus being worked on with Bob Phillips and giving the additional conditional formatting has only happened because of Frank's energy and we know that he was very proud of its concept and implementation. Frank also was driving, contributing, and stimulating other projects and updates and we know that Frank had so much more he wanted to give to the community of Excel users. He was a great team player and we could guarantee high speed, critical and friendly feedback. We will miss him not only for his contributions but also for his humour and sincere friendship. He enjoyed a Single Malt and a good cigar and lived, and gave of his life, to the full. We offer condolences to his family and friends at the loss of Frank at such a young age. Frank came from Hamburg where his family still live and had a long term girlfriend to whom we offer the sympathy that can do little to make up for her loss. We have all lost a good and sincere friend. Frank represented the very highest of the traditions of these Excel Groups. I have undertaken to ensure the collection and collation of responses to this post both public and private and I will ensure a suitable presentation to his family. -- Regards Norman Harker MVP (Excel) on behalf of Bob Phillips, Ron de Bruin Sydney, Australia |

Oh my God!
Say this isn't true. Say this isn't a joke. How awful! If this is so, he will be so missed by so many. To his Family, I'm so sorry, Frank touched so many lives. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Are there any plans for an online memorial? I know so many have been helped by him. To all his friends "out there" let us stop for a moment to remember a special person, dear to us all.

Frank helped me out countless times on this forum. I don't know what to say,
except, although I never met him, I feel as though I've lost a close friend. My condolences to all close to him, my thoughts and prayers are with them. "Norman Harker" wrote: Hi Everyone!
