Dear Jeppesen Colleagues

It is with great sadness that I must inform you that our fellow colleague, Pawel Strzelecki from Jeppesen's Gdansk, Poland office, has died last Sunday from injuries suffered when he was hit by a car while riding his bicycle. Rafal Stepnowski writes about Pawel below. His funeral will be held this Friday and Jeppesen will be represented by employees from our Gdansk office.

We extend our sincere condolences and sorrow to Pawel's family, to his friends, and to our Jeppesen colleagues who will miss Pawel deeply.

Mark
(Mark Van Tine, President & Chief Operating Officer)


Pawel Strzelecki
4 October 1977 – 13 September 2009

Pawel joined us in 2000, during his studies at the Technical University of Gdansk (Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunication and Informatics). He started work (in C-Map Poland) as a Software Developer in the Embedded Development group, and continued with the company for 9 years, most recently working as a S/W Engineer in the Fishsafe project team.

In his professional role, Pawel was always highly regarded by his managers and peers for his professional attitude, his focused approach and his creativity. He was a quiet and thoughtful person to work alongside, holding a wealth of knowledge and experience until it would be needed or useful. Helpful and considerate to all his colleagues, he was committed to help, not only technically but in any way he could.

All his colleagues from the development and test teams - and indeed the entire Polish office with whom Pawel interacted - have very positive memories of him, having always found him an extremely kind, friendly and sympathetic person, with a sense of humour that made the day brighter.

Outside work Pawel was well-known for his passion for river and sea-kayaking in the “Morzkulc” student’s team, a hobby he enjoyed alongside other colleagues from the Jeppesen Poland office. He also was fond of mountain walking, cycling and skiing.

We will miss Pawel – not only as a colleague in his professional role with Jeppesen – but also as a true friend and part of our Jeppesen family.

Pawel passed away 13th. September. 2009, leaving behind his family, and his girlfriend, Agata.
