Hi, Please post the following note from the UB Mathematics Department (not me). Since postings on the catnet have sought further information on the memorial for John Isbell, the Mathematics Department of the University at Buffalo, SUNY would like to assure the community that the service and announcements were handled according to the wishes of the family. The service itself was held on Saturday afternoon and remarks about John's remarkable intellectual breadth and extensive mathematical accomplishments were made by Professors J. Duskin, F.W. Lawvere, S. Schanuel, and S. Williams. The family is preparing an obituary, with more detail than the death notice copied to the catnet by F. Linton, and we will forward it to the catnet when it appears.
