It is with deep sadness that I must announce the passing of one of our longest serving staff members.  We were recently informed that Ken Edwards had passed away during a diving trip to the South Pacific.

Ken was a senior account executive at HMS Software.  He has been with the company for 35 years.

It would be impossible in a few words to describe Ken’s incredible impact on our firm.  He joined HMS before we even launched our first TimeControl.  He has been there from the beginning.  In his role in Sales and Marketing, Ken was known to project managers across Canada, the US as well as Europe and Asia Pacific.  He was a founding member of the Toronto chapter of the Microsoft Project User Group (MPUG).  He had easily met over 10,000 project managers during his career.

For those of us at HMS who have been with the company a long time, we remember our kids growing up at the same time and going through the growth of ourselves as parents and the transformation of our children into adults.

Ken was a part of our fabric; a part of our infrastructure; a part of our family.

We send his family our heartfelt condolences.

Thank you Ken for everything you shared with us.

We will all miss you.
