I’m a little in shock. Just catching the news that Alan Rimm-Kaufman passed away over the weekend.

I really liked Alan. I think everyone did. I originally met him in early 2006, just as he was wrapping up work with the NRF on standard data exchange formats. He helped me out a ton over the years, and I’ll miss discussing metrics oriented marketing and swapping biz ideas with him at random industry events.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Alan Rimm-Kaufman Legacy Fund, CBI Preschool, 501 East Jefferson Street, Charlottesville, VA, 22902, and that individuals consider joining the national bone marrow registry at www.marrow.org.
