Hi Chris, That is terrible news. I only knew Alex through these forums and one online NYCJUG meeting, but it was impossible not to feel the joy and enthusiasm expressed in his posts.
He is one of the guys that make the J forums great and he will be sorely missed. My thoughts and sympathies go out to his wife and children. Ken PS - Can you please notify the forum if any arrangements have been made for charitable donations etc. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of chris burke Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2011 8:50 PM To: General forum Subject: [Jgeneral] Alex Rufon Alex (bathala) Rufon (1973-2011) has passed away after a short illness. Alex worked as a J developer at a manufacturer in the Philippines, and was one of the stalwarts of the J community. He was extremely helpful in setting up and contributing to the J wiki and code repositories. In the last few days when he seemed to have recovered from liver disease, we were discussing his work on a native cocoa ide for J. He is survived by his wife and two children. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
