Tech Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 It is with a heavy heart that we share with the form•Z community the sad news on the recent passing of our director of technical support, Paul Helm. He fought a hard battle with cancer for over a year while continuing to do what we knew him best for, taking care of form•Z users. For over 20 years he was always willing to help users with their issues and had a determination that made form•Z better each day. He is truly missed and will always be remembered.

kim Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I am stunned and sitting here in a state of shock. Thank you Paul for all your help over the years with FZ. If I may speak for the FZ community - you are our hero, you were definitely mine. So, sorry to hear that for this last year you had to struggle living with cancer. This did not come through with any of your email answers to our questions. Condolences to everyone at AutoDesSys, to Paul's family and friends. Paul, I will miss you sorely.
