It took me a while to discover this sad news in the pile of messages.
I am very sad to hear this.  What a tragedy this is.  I miss him
although I never met him in person.  His postings were among the most
important that guided me through my earlier Ruby days. Guy, you left
far too early.

I support the idea of naming the grant program after him. I do not
think it is a good idea to name a release after him.
