He died yesterday. As he was an important member of our community, I think we should make something appropriate so he would be remembered.
this is really sad news :(

Amazing gentleman. One of the founding board members of Wikimedia Canada. Will be greatly missed by all of us in the great white north.

For those of you who are not on Facebook, this is the message his family posted on his Facebook profile: --- After a courageous battle with cancer, my loving husband, my best friend, and a wonderful father passed away peacefully yesterday morning. Thanks to everyone who helped us through this journey. We will have a celebration of life in the near future, we will let you know as soon as we have the details.
Love,
Christine and Darren.
Après une bataille courageuse avec le cancer, mon mari, mon meilleur ami et un père formidable nous a quité en paix hier matin. Merci à tous ceux qui nous ont soutenu durant notre voyage. Nous allons avoir une célébration de sa vie, aussitôt que nous avons les details nous allons vous avissez.
Avec tout notre amour.
Christine et Darren. ---
I discovered only a few months ago and by chance that he was fighting cancer. I met Ray in 2010 at Wikimania. This is very sad news.

Oh dear, very sad news indeed :(
I remember meeting him at Wikimania 2006, and on many more subsequent Wikimanias. He was always nice and thoughtful.
My condolences to his family.

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 longer come, his passion for learning, his dedication to understanding.
Farewell, Ray.
J.
Very sad news, indeed. We will 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 Phoebe https://vimeo.com/134889976

Despite over a dozen years of friendship, I simply don't feel qualified to eulogize Ray as others can and already have. I'll simply say that over those years, I came to value his wisdom immensely as we worked together on Wikimedia organization regarding chapters and other topics. Christine and Darren have my most profound condolences; it is certainly no understatement to say that he made a positive contribution to the world in ways that his quiet character would, to some, fail to adequately represent, and I will miss him.
Austin
he will be missed, I am really shocked to hear this, he was one of our best and early editors

Sorry to hear about that! My condolences go to his family and friends.

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

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! Subhashish
