Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Sad News

This is incredibly sad. Condolences to
Kit's family, friends and colleagues.
Kit was one of the kindest persons I've
met. I've added my memorial to https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/memorials

Dear Friends,
I have a sad news to share.
Kit Lo, Technical Lead for IBM Eclipse SDK,
based out of IBM RTP lab, passed away on Saturday, Feb 26th.
He was on a routine run on Saturday and collapsed on the way.
Kit has been with IBM for 32+ years, working in various roles
and different teams. In the past decade, Kit was the lead for
Translation / Globalization efforts across various products.
About 5 years ago, Kit took up the IES Technical Lead role.
Kit was a very hard worker, continuous learner and always
willing to go the extra mile to help those in need. Kit was
also very active in Eclipse Open Source Community. He was the
co-lead for Eclipse Babel project (community driven
translation of strings in Eclipse distribution) and in the
past year, he also took up the additional role of Eclipse IDE
Release Engineer.
We in the Eclipse team in IBM, are still
trying to come to terms with the fact that Kit is no longer
with us. Kit was a great friend, mentor and guide for those
who worked closely with him. We are lucky to have worked with
him. Kit will be sorely missed.
Pradeep
