It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of Rudy Komin. For his family and many friends, the loss seems almost without possibility given the energy and great determination with which he lived each day. I have never known a better man.
When a group of us set out to develop an alternative trading and analytics operation, Rudy was one of the last to join. Yet he soon became the clear leader in driving and championing a positive attitude and commitment to success. Even when we floundered at times, his relentless optimism played a huge part in finally building our adaptive application. To Rudy, it was always about the people and the journey of building something that was greater than the money. It was really about investing in the possibility to change lives by its eventual success. Try to find that in today's world.
The rewards in life for being noble unfortunately are replaced far too easily by lesser goals. Rudy Komin challenged all of us to commit to family, to friends, and to those visions which are not sure things, but contain great possibilities.
