I am a newcomer into binary star research. Despite this, when i first approached Dr. Pourbaix for guidance on various aspects related to the use oh his SB9 catalogue, he was always diligent, kind, and pedagogical. I am very sorry for his sudden departure. I humbly dedicated my latest paper on double line spectroscopic binaries (with my student Mrs. Jennifer Anguita-Aguero) to the memory of Dr. Pourbaix. I hope that one his greatest legacies as service for the world-wide community of binary research, namely, the SB9 catalogue, will be continued by some of his disciples. With kind regards, Rene A. Mendez (University of Chile).
