Indeed, a great loss. Men with intellectual honesty, integrity and mathematical talent like him are few in the Category Theory community. I compare him with another great loss we had, Max Kelly. e.d. On 11/12/12 14:57, Robert FC Walters wrote:
It is with great sadness I write to let you know that our friend Aurelio Carboni died peacefully this morning, 11 December 2012.
We had been friends and collaborators since I first met him in 1980. I know that all of you who knew him personally will share my distress at his passing. We remember his friendship, his spirit, his humour and his passion for mathematical research. It is a great loss to the Category Theory community.
