  14 <p>On October 1, 2016, the Samba team lost a member and dear friend,
  15 <a href="https://www.samba.org/~lmuelle/"> Lars Müller</a>.  Lars was known
  16 for his red hair, crooked smile, stubbornness, but above all, his willingness
  17 to go to any length to welcome a visitor or help anyone in need.  His positive
  18 outlook despite overwhelming circumstances taught all of us what is most
  19 important in life.<p>
  20
  21 <p>We miss him, and our hearts are with his family.</p>
  22
  23 <p>Peace to you, Lars.</p>
