It is with deep regret that we announce the death of Mr Claude Dangoisse on 1 July 2012.

Claude had a long and rich career at CERN, having had several jobs over 30 years. Arriving first at CERN as an electrician to participate in the Proton-Synschrotron- and Super-Proton-Synchrotron cabling, he was an operator of the CERN Meyrin Control room for almost 10 years. Then he joined the Telecom section where he was in charge of the telephone exchange infrastructure. His professional devotion, his constant good mood, and the help he gave to his colleagues made him a coworker much appreciated by everyone. Many of us are losing both a colleague and a friend.

The funeral took place on the 5th of July in Sciez church (74).
