Re: [Wikimedia-l] Ray Saintonge has died

2016-09-14 Thread Subhashish Panigrahi
This is such a terrible news. Condolences and prayers for Ray's family and 
those whose were close to him in such a difficult time.

I still remember when I first met Ray at Wikimania 2013 Hong Kong, he not just 
politely asked me to go ahead of a line for food, but kindly agreed to speak 
over lunch. He shared a lot of interesting stories from his work. Unfortunately 
I could not upload the video and it might still be in one of my hard drives. 
Though the empty space he has left in the community could never be filled up, I 
will try to search the video interview and upload on Commons.

Best!

I feel very sad reading this news. He was always friendly and fair. Had 
always made me smile seeing him.

Expecting to meet him on a Mania is just natural. Knowing will never see 
him there again is ... very strange.

I will miss him, very very much

So sad to hear :(

It was great to know him since meeting him at Wikimania 2007 and to see him
every year.

As member of the chapters committee, he was supportive of us when we were
establishing Wikimedia DC in 2011.

Will greatly miss him.

I'm deeply saddened by this news. 

For many years it was a delight to meet Ray at Wikimania and hear him comment 
in his deep voice on anything, but mostly on our movement,
sometimes with irony, always in a goodhearted way, and often with a smile

This short clip from Wikimania 2005 shows Ray as I remember him, accompanied by

I will miss Ray.

I will miss his cheeriness, his optimism, his kind-heartedness.

I will miss his steadfastness, a rock at every Wikimania until he could no
