This morning we got news that one of the nicest people in search in the UK, Jaamit Durrani, has passed away. We will all miss Jaamit very much and are really devastated by this news. Therefore all the postings which were planned for today and this weekend have been canceled.
Our regards go out to Jaamit’s family. We’ll miss you mate.
PS. I’m sorry not to write more here, I’m just a bit numb by this news. Jaamit was one of the nicest people I have ever met and we will miss him very much. I can see in the stats that people are looking for the ‘how’. All we know right now is that is was most probably an accident. But the how is not important now.
