I love working here. I love working on the products we make, I love working with the people in the office and I love working with our users around the world.

Unfortunately, Paul McGee, one of our beloved users, testers, and friends,  passed away on January 28th.   Paul worked closely with us on Ventura and a few versions of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite and he was always looking out for his needs and the needs of others.  To say Paul could push software to its limits would be an understatement. He had a good idea of how he thought things should work and would invest time and knowledge in communicating that to all of us here.

In lieu of flowers, Paul's family has asked for donations to be sent to the Canadian Diabetes Foundation.

God’s speed Paul,
Tony

  • A great loss to all of our testers that worked with Paul for many years. https://geameblog.wordpress.com/

  • Very sad, I enjoyed his posts, informative and searching but could still be amusing.

  • Although I never met him, I feel like I just lost a dear friend. Man that gave his time and knowledge to help others is a great man. Thank you Paul for allowing us to know you. You will be missed.

  • I dug out my long forgotten password of this forum when I read the sad news. Just like so many of you, I also have done lots of things together with Paul. Ventura and other stuff, fonts, inside forums and mailing list and privately. I can't remember how many times he said he would definitely, positively and finally retire from work now, only to go on doing whatever he was doing before... For the benefit of all of us–both as friends and colleagues. Yes, as Yani expressed a couple of messages earlier: it's still exciting how this new technology can bring people together even if they might not see each other in person for decades or never at all during their lives. Coming generations will probably take all this for granted but we who witnessed it to happen and even took some part in forming it–and Paul definitely did his share in all the online forums he participated in–need to pause at moments like this.

    Farewell, Paul, you will stay alive in our memories.
