Alan Raby

I had the great fortune to work with Alan at Wells Fargo for a couple of years. He was part of a unit of super smart payments product managers that I got to work with as a new lawyer at Well Fargo right when so many advancements in payments were being made post 9/11. He was very zen, very patient, was so smart, had an international sensibility which was so great, and he always wanted to innovate from a technology standpoint while being deferential to banking laws and the customer experience. It was a pleasure to work with him, he had such a knowledge of payments. I was just wondering what he was up to so I could invite him to a fintech group I thought he'd enjoy when I saw he was no longer here. I'm shocked. It seems so unfair. I can't believe he's gone. I send all of you, his family, my condolences. He was a true innovator in the payments / fintech space, he made a huge impact in his field, and he will be missed.

Time has gone by, but it has not erased the pain in my heart at losing my brother. Al was the most fit man I knew. A hard-running, ruck-humping, long-distance trail runner, he lived for time in nature. Yet he always kept the family ties close. I miss talking to him about our experiences in the military, military history, and technology. With his thirst for knowledge and curious nature, Al was at the pointy end of the curve when it came to artificial intelligence. And what a wicked sense of humour! That I miss every single day. So, it was an utter shock to my system when he told me he had stage IV cancer - just a week prior, he finished a 43 km run with a 42kg pack on his back. He died quickly, far too young, and left us behind to mourn his passing. My little brother, I miss you and say a prayer for you every night. From up there in heaven, I hope you think of me from time to time, EA. Love your big sister, ES.

I will miss my brother every day for the rest of my life. I will miss his wit, his humor, his Zen attitude towards almost any situation. I will miss our long talks every week end. He left this world much to soon. His kindness touched many people across many nations. My brother had a beautiful wise warrior spirit. His sudden illness and sudden departure has left my heart aching and broken. I think of Alan and I think of the song "Seasons In the Sun" by Terry Jacks. My brother fought until his last breath, and will be missed by many. God bless you Alan. See you on the other side. Love your sister, Catherine.
