Dear Crystallographic Community,

It is with great sadness that I inform you of the passing of Professor
Louis Delbaere. Louis passed away suddenly on October 5th in
Mississauga, Ontario, Canada while returning home to Saskatoon from an
ACA Council meeting in Buffalo, NY. At the end, Louis was surrounded by
his family - his wife Carol, his son Christian and his daughter
Michelle.

Louis was an incredibly active member of our community, serving as the
Canadian Rep to the ACA from 1999-2001, a member of the ACA
Communications Committee from 2003-2006, and as President of the ACA in
2005. He was the current president of the Canadian National Committee
for Crystallography, a member of the IUCr Executive Committee, and led
the successful Canadian bid to bring the 2014 IUCr congress to Montreal.

Louis mentored numerous crystallographers, many of whom continue his
legacy as active crystallographers themselves. His contributions,
friendship and enthusiasm for science, and in particular
crystallography, will be truly missed.

Funeral arrangements are being made for Louis in Saskatoon. If
colleagues wish to send condolences, you can contact me directly at
audette@yorku.ca, and I will ensure that your wishes are passed on Carol
and the Delbaere Family.

Sincerely,

Gerald Audette
