Hi Frank,
That is very sad news indeed. Sadder yet his isolation toward the end, away
from people who might have cared for him and enjoyed his company, even in a
facility. I enjoyed those years when we met with him, and tried to get him to
understand or even sympathize a little with the mathematical point. of view.
No luck there, but I found the challenge very interesting, as an applied
mathematician would of a brilliant and cantankerous old experimental physicist.
A Welshman to boot, he loved Dylan Thomas, and could recite him at length with
the same brogue.
In the end his angry and insulting out bursts became too much for what I was
getting out the experience, considering what I was getting from others. I
always admired you patience with him. I bet tennis helped!
Thanks for letting me know. Please inform me of any memorial or some such.
Regards ...
Dean
