May he rest in peace

Please Note:

There will be a memorial service for Randy at St. Peter and Paul Episcopal Church, 8147 SE Pine Street, Portland, Oregon on Sept. 25 at 12:00 noon.

Here are some online obituaries:

From The Episcopal News Service, September 14, 2010

Here is what I wrote shortly after hearing the sad news:

Today, August 27, 2010 I received the news, by email that Randy had passed away. The text of the email is as follows:

Dear Friends,

Regret to inform you that Dr Randall Giles passed away a few hours ago, in a hospital in Pondicherry, after a brief illness.
Please pass on this message to Randy's loved ones and friends.
Will keep you posted of further details.

Regards,
Andrew Bhagyanathan
Bangalore

I immediately went to his Facebook page, knowing that that was his preferred method of keeping in touch with his worldwide collection of friends, and saw that it had started to fill with postings from those close to him. As I find out more information I will post it to this page.

May he rest in peace, and may Light Eternal shine upon him.
