Andrew Moffitt's heart was bigger than the World
Wide Web and now his legacy will help others follow their love of computers.
The 23-year-old son of Paulette and Rodney
Moffitt, of Brockville, was stabbed in the heart on December 23, as he tried
to break up a fight at a student hangout in Ottawa.
Now the family of the University of Ottawa
computer engineering student is setting up a scholarship fund in his memory.

to be slain the way he was,” his mother said Friday. “This is
the only way that we can keep his memory alive forever. Something good has
to come out of this.”

will benefit Ontario students in computer or electrical engineering at the
university. While family members are still deciding on the specific criteria
for qualifying students, they want the scholarship to reflect Andrew's caring,
giving spirit, said older brother Rod Jr., 27, a computer programmer at
Nortel in Ottawa. more.
