Mark Finlay passed away peacefully at home on Friday 9th January 2004.
Mark was the driving force behind the creation of the GNOME Users Board, where he helped numerous people learn to use GNOME. He was also a contributor to Rhythmbox, Gossip and numerous other GNOME projects. To quote Jeff Waugh "Mark Finlay was young, eager, furiously energetic and just heading into university - where I'm sure he would have blossomed into a great GNOME and Free Software hacker."

Mark was a friend of mine too, but I lost touch with him, and didn't even know he was sick again. Didn't make it to his funeral either- I found out somewhat belatedly.

I'd like to say that, he was the most intelligent guy I ever met, and that he was a wonderful person, a really sweet guy, and want to give my condolences to his family, and to Grace, his long term girlfriend, who I also knew.
