Sad news for the pyro world

Yesterday, Octavio Aguiar of "ODA Enterprises" was killed by a vehicle while riding his scooter to the local store.

For those of you who didn't know him, "Octave" (as we called him) was a genuine GEM of a guy. He helped everyone, and made a nice line of firing equipment for both amateurs and pros, alike.

He'll be greatly missed, and those of us who knew him are sorrowed by his passing.

That is a mighty shame. I met him a couple of times at PGI. Genuinely nice and engaging gentleman.

I have just received some more bad news:

 

Dr. Toivo Willmann (whom most of you probably knew, seeing that he sometimes posted on here) also passed away last month at the age of 61.

I don't have any information on the cause of his death, but he will surely be missed, especially in brazil where he spent a large amount of his life, basically single handedly reforming the

local pyrotechnic industry.

So sorry! It's hard to lose friends, anyway. But it's even harder if you share common backgrounds.
