Re: [nexus-all] Thierry Declerck

Dear all,

I must say that I am still in shock.

Thierry was going to present a paper with co-signed with Lenka and I. He was so kind and so friendly it was such a pleasure to go along with him. I’m happy I had the opportunity to work with him.

I also vividly remember an evening in Brussels when we both decided to go to a wine bar and share thoughts on science, life, wines and the universe in a long lasting and so charming moment.

Thierry was such a charming human being who sincerely cared for the others. I will miss him a lot.

Regards,

Gilles,
