I first met Yuri just over a year ago, over a discussion of  
web-accessibility for visually impaired users. Neither then  
nor on any other occasion did I feel like I was speaking with  
the "President" of SoftQuad; rather I felt as if I were  
talking with a pleasant, smart and enthusiastic colleague  
with wide ranging interests and an infectious way of making  
the people around him (namely me!) feel excited by what they  
were doing.   

It was fun spending time with Yuri, and I will miss him.
