goodbye
All signs point to brain death, but confirmation will not come for another 24+ hours.
Those of us here have said goodbye.

Nadav,
I'm so, so sorry. Give your mother and sister a hug for all of us.
This is devastating news and such a great loss.
We are thinking of you tonight and in the days to come.
Ray Hoff and all of Yoram's colleagues at UMBC.
I just learned of all this today. It is terribly saddening. I was a (distant) co-worker of your father's (in Building 32 at Goddard Space Flight Center). Your dad touched, and brightened, many other people's lives, at work, and, I am sure, everywhere else he went as well. You have my deepest and most heartfelt sympathy for this terrible loss.
Now comes a time when, as with a birth, your entire world changes. But unlike a birth, where you have a child about as a sign to all that your world is no longer the same, you are without. And you will want to ask the person in line at the grocery store how they can chatter about a baseball game, how they can be so untouched. Can they not see that the world is upside-down. Is it not as clear as if the sky just changed from blue to green?
Know that it is that clear to all those who surround you. A piece of all of our worlds have just turned upside-down and we recognize that your entire world has.
Let us help hold you up. We are praying just as fervently now, though for new reasons.
Please say good-bye to Yoram for us all.
Bill
It's with great sadness that I hear about Yoram Kaufman's untimely death. I knew about his work from his papers relating to the MODIS system, and I was particularly pleased to have met him and his wife during the Urbino ACCENT meeting. In fact, we spent quite a few hours there discussing the possibilities of using water vapour as a tracer of the atmospheric recirculations over the Mediterranean. As a result, I was supposed to prepare a paper for publication in the Journal of Geophysical Research that he was interested in co-authoring. My heart condition stopped me from completing the draft in time, and I'm now really sad that we'll no longer have a chance to work together. It's very sad. There's nothing else I can say.
My sympathies to his wife and family.
