Dear colleagues and friends,

This is quite a shock to me. I regret not having visited him when Bob (Walters) and Aurelio himself encouraged me to do so. There was so much I wanted to discuss with him. I will always remember Aurelio as a great collaborator for his kindness, mathematical insights, and humor. He was a good friend as well. My sabbatical in Genova was very special because of Marco, Pino, and Aurelio. My condolences to the categories group.

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.

best regards Bob Walters
