  17 <p>On October 2, 2016, the Samba team lost a member and dear friend,
  18 <a href="https://www.samba.org/~lmuelle/"> Lars Müller</a>.  Lars was known
  19 for his red hair, crooked smile, stubbornness, but above all, his willingness
  20 to go to any length to welcome a visitor or help anyone in need.  His positive
  21 outlook despite overwhelming circumstances taught all of us what is most
  22 important in life.<p>
  23
  24 <p>We miss him, and our hearts are with his family.</p>
  25
  26 <p>Peace to you, Lars.</p>
