Let it be known that Yuri was the greatest ally ICADD had in furthering the
cause of accessibility for people with print impairments. Without him, there
would be no such thing as an ICADD DTD or an accessible HTML.

My hat is off to a terrific friend.

[...]

Because Yuri Rubinsky was such an intimate and instrumental person in our
consortium, I have taken the liberty to send flowers in behalf of all ICADD
members to Yuri's memorial service. Attached will be a card with all our names.

I will also prepare a brief statement extending our sympathy to Yuri's family
and Softquad that I will try to arrange to have read at his service.
