Re: [openstack-dev] In loving memory of Chris Yeoh
Hi, I am very saddened to read this. Not only will Chris be missed on a professional level but on a personal level. He was a real mensh (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/mensh).

Re: [openstack-dev] In loving memory of Chris Yeoh
Hi, as promised I now have details of a charity for people to donate to in Chris' memory: http://participate.freetobreathe.org/site/TR?px=1582460&fr_id=2710&pg=personal#.VSscH5SUd90 In the words of the family: "We would prefer that people donate to lung cancer research in lieu of flowers. Lung cancer has the highest mortality rate out of all the cancers, and the lowest funding out of all the cancers. There is a stigma attached that lung cancer is a smoker's disease, and that sufferers deserve their fate. They bring it on through lifestyle choice. Except that Chris has never smoked in his life, like a surprisingly large percentage of lung cancer sufferers. These people suffer for the incorrect beliefs of the masses, and those that are left behind are equally innocent. We shouldn't be doing this now. He shouldn't be gone. We need to do more to fix this. There will be charity envelopes available at the funeral, or you can choose your preferred research to fund, should you wish to do so. You have our thanks."

A year later when I was considering joining IBM, the fact that he would be on my team was a very strong positive factor in my decision. He was always a joy to work with, even these past few months when he was fighting the ultimate battle.

Re: [openstack-dev] In loving memory of Chris Yeoh
Feel very sad. Just few weeks ago, I still saw him active on the community. Really hard believe this happen such suddenly. He was my leader in IBM and mentored me on the openstack community also, offered lots of help without reservation, really learn a lot from him. We have phone call meeting every morning before, he always sounds happy and enthusiastic even after he got health problem.

He always helped the other developers and many people were around him. His contribution was not only Nova but also Tempest. He improved quality of whole OpenStack projects through Tempest work, that was really great. May his soul rest in peace.

Re: [openstack-dev] In loving memory of Chris Yeoh
:( I am shocked to my core. He was so humble and helpful always. It would be very hard to believe that he is no more. God rest his soul in peace.
