Even though my time
working here has been brief it was obvious he was a well liked and respected
friend and workmate. I am glad to have met him.
Mark Anthony
I will miss the
conversations that I had with Rabin after work. He was a very knowledgeable
person who as well as sharing his thoughts was a good
listener. Rabin’s passing will be a great loss to the group and everyone who
knew him.
Phil Rogers
Rabin was the
quietest, calmest man in the office, yet still well known and well respected by
everyone. He was a greatly intelligent guy who will be sorely missed by all his
friends, colleagues and the industry as a whole. Rikki
Prince
I first met Rabin
during his time at Renderware where he was held in
high esteem as a much respected and valued colleague. After meeting him again,
when he joined SCEE, he came across as a calm, thoughtful and collective thinker
who was always willing to listen. . .
David Carter
While I hadn’t
known Rabin as well as the others, I was always impressed by his sharp insights
and calm approach. He was greatly respected and will be missed by all. . .
. Caspar
Sanger
Rabin joined SCEE
not long after myself and although I did not see him
on a daily basis, when I did see him he always seemed to have a cap on his head
and a smile on his face. It was clear from the few times I spoke with Rabin
that he was a very intelligent, genuine person. He will be sorely missed by
everybody whose lives he touched during his short time here. . David Jeston
Rabin was the
quietest man of our group and was respected in the game industry. We will all
miss him. Sebastien
Rubens
Having spent a
short time with him, we did share the occasional drink after work and the
lasting impression he will leave is that he was a very kind and brilliant man
who was truly respected by all who worked with him. Dick Kennedy.
Rabin was always the
guy I would want to go to first when I was stuck with a problem. He was never
too busy to help and would go to any lengths to help me. That is the kind of
guy he was. Rick Forster
In the year that I
have worked with Rabin I can honestly say that I have met no one else as
conscientious and selfless. What ever the need Rabin has always been the first
to offer help. Ever friendly, caring and keen to help.
We have lost not just a brilliant intellect, but an impassioned colleague and a
good friend. . . . Mike Dean
Rabin, you will be
missed.
Rabin seemed so
full of life and energy – quietly. He was always there, whatever the occasion.
He was a great friend and a great co-worker. I feel sorry for our loss. Sergio Moreiru
I considered Rabin
to be both a colleague and a friend, and I am shocked by his loss. Rabin always
had something amusing or insightful to add to any conversation – no matter what
the subject. He will be remembered as the smartest person I ever met. It was a
pleasure to know him, and I will miss him greatly. Jason G. Doig
Rabin was a work
colleague who will be truly missed; he was a person who was always willing to
help others and always gave 100% effort. He approached everything in a
professional and calm manner; which made me very fortunate to have known and
worked with him. His memory will live on.
Ian Bryce
Rabin was an
intelligent, friendly person with a very bright outlook. He will be sadly
missed by all. I remember him as a thoughtful person with many insights into
the world. I feel deeply sad about this passing of a popular and friendly
person. He will be greatly missed.
Wai
Rabin was a
genuinely, kind, helpful, thoughtful person. His loss was a shock to all of us.
I used to join him for lunch or for a drink on occasion. He was well liked by
everyone he worked with. In the industry he worked in I think he is one of the
most talented, respected persons there is. He will be greatly missed. Mark Corydon
I knew Rabin for
about a year and during that time enjoyed many a conversation with him at lunch
or over a quiet drink. His calm demeanour and insightful mind was inspiring to
all those who met him – a truly great talent.
Andrew Sidwell
Though our parts
never quite crossed, Rabin was known to me – to all of us – for his
technological brilliance and remarkable humanity; qualities both for which he
shall ever be remembered. Sham
Having known Rabin
for 10 years my sense of loss is hard to measure. During my 8 years working at
Criterion, whenever a really tough technical problem came up we’d usually
decide – “that’s one for Rabin” .
He always seemed to tackle the hard stuff with ease and still find time for a
drink in the pub after work. A truly great man! You will be missed my
friend. Sean Turner
Rabin always struck
me as hugely intelligent and very enthusiastic about technology which made him
fascinating to talk to. I always looked forward to seeing what ‘cool’ thing he
was working on as I passed his desk surrounded by exotic technology.
I also valued Rabin
as a friend and spent many hours with him down the pub in
I never met Rabin,
but I wish I had. The comments of his colleagues and friends paint a picture of
a very special person – kind, thoughtful, helpful and very clever indeed. This
is a very great loss for us all. Nancy
Gatehouse
I never got a
chance to know Rabin very well, but in our Japanese classes he was always a
quiet but friendly person, easy to get along with, and obviously knew his work
very well. It is sad to think that we won’t see him around here any more – he
will certainly be missed at Sony.
Chris Bevan
I had known Rabin
for 9 years both at Criterion and, later, at SCEE. We enjoyed many a BBQ and
pint together discussing the relative merits of Japanese and Italian sports
cars. I am shocked and deeply saddened by his loss. Jamie Macdonald
Rabin was a lovely
and very helpful person. Like everyone I am shocked and deeply saddened by what
has happened. Richard Lee
Rabin was a kind
and helpful person – we will really miss him.
Nicolas Serres
Rabin was deeply
thoughtful and intelligent. I admired his sense of humour and wit – I shall
treasure my memories of our conversations. Saret Ewer
Rabin was an
exceptionally clever man to whom I always turned when I needed advice. Lionel Lemarié
