Dear Martin,
It is indeed sad to learn of the passing of Ray Milefsky. .... truly a selfless, generous and remarkable person. He was extremely helpful in formulating the Typology of Territorial Disputes, enabling us a better understanding of the historical phases and
current status of the Belize-Guatemala dispute.

Dear colleagues,
It is with sadness that I write to pass on news of the death yesterday of int-boundaries member and renowned boundary expert Ray Milefsky.
Ray was the senior boundary and sovereignty specialist in the U.S. Department of State's Office of the Geographer and Global Issues from 2000 to 2014, and in that role he made a significant contribution to the peaceful resolution of boundary and territorial
disputes around the world. He also shared his encyclopaedic knowledge of boundary - and many other - issues with great generosity in academic and practitioner circles, not least at IBRU conferences and workshops and on this email list. Those of us who were
fortunate enough to know 'Mr Ray' will remember a remarkable and inimitable person with gratitude and great affection. We will miss you.
