Re: [Emerging-Sigs] In Memoriam: Jeff Kell

[Andre DiMino <adimino () sempersecurus org>]

Very sad indeed.

In addition to all his other efforts, Jeff was a significant contributor to
Shadowserver back in the day.
He was always willing to give of his time and resources.
I always remember him willing to help others, expecting nothing in return.

A great guy who will be missed.
