Was there ever an obituary from CUNY, or elsewhere? Perhaps ask the cat theory bulletin board? Tim On 01/10/2012 21:22, jim stasheff wrote:

Thanks.
Noson, Do you know anything more about his life? Any surviving relations?

Have a look at
http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/Alex%20Heller
and see what should be added to it.
Any of his other students who should contribute?
