+1 to @mark200mph's comment. The death of a founder can be especially difficult on a company. Did they have a succession plan in place? What direction do they want to go? Divorces have caused many companies to close, let alone the death of the one with vision who breathed life into it. To them it was likely a passion, to others perhaps just a paycheck.
Anyone who has ever gone through such a process knows how long dealing with all the legal issues, and then any in-fighting among successors can be. I hope Krell continues.
