<p dir="ltr">I am deeply moved by his passing, what a sad day. We got to know each other when I came across CAKE and contributed somewhat to the team efforts back in 2016-2018, when I was in the US. He is deeply missed but his impact echoes on in 'every packet that flows a little bit more fairly'.</p>
