I have known Helmut Röhrl one way or another since the original 1965 La Jolla Conference on Categorical Algebra, which is to say, for nearly 50 years, or just under 2/3 of my life. That's a long time in which to get used to a person's being there, which makes his loss now all the harder to accept. All the more saddening is the long illness preceding his demise: Mother Nature could have been kinder. Thank you, Bodo, for passing along this sad news. Helmut will be sorely missed. -- Fred Linton --- ------ Original Message ------ Received: Mon, 30 Jun 2014 02:23:28 AM EDT From: "Bodo Pareigis" <Bodo.Pareigis@t-online.de> To: categories@mta.ca Subject: categories: Helmut Roehrl
