+<p> With great sadness we are announcing the passing of our friend, Józef Kucia. </p>
+<p> Józef was a major Wine contributor with over 2500 patches since his first
+contribution in 2012. He was a highly talented programmer with a focus on Wine's
+Direct3D subsystem. Józef founded and led the vkd3d project and provided insight
+and guidance to the Vulkan working group. He also contributed to other open
+source projects including Mesa and Debian. </p>
+<p> Józef was a regular attendee at the yearly WineConf. A man of few
+words, he was helpful and displayed a quiet kindness. <br/> His skills
+attracted the interest of CodeWeavers and Józef <a
+href="https://www.codeweavers.com/about/blogs/jwhite/2019/09/08/a-tragic-loss">joined
+their team</a> in 2015. That allowed him to dedicate more of his time
+to Wine. </p>
+<p> Józef died last month at the young age of 28 in an accident in the Jaskinia
+Wielka Śnieżna ("great snowy cave") in the Tatra Mountains in Poland. Caving was
+his passion. </p>
+
+<p> Józef will be remembered with warm memories by those who worked with him.
+Our thoughts and condolences go out to Józef's family, friends, loved ones, and
+everyone else who grieves his passing.  </p>
