I think of him every few months, and as we close 2025 I find I am missing my former colleague, and friend, Ludgero “Gero” Leonardo — 2025 is 10 years since he passed.

I took this photo on one our first trips together to Dell’s TX campus in March 2003 — we had decided to spend the weekend visiting the Alamo, the San Antonio Riverwalk, and the Tower of the Americas.

Gone, but never forgotten.
