Dear Jacob, 
Let me express my condolences on your loss.  We'll
miss your father's contributions to this list and to the study of Peirce's
writings and their relationship to linguistics.
When I read your
note, I checked your father's list of publications at
https://umich.academia.edu/CharlesPyle 
His articles emphasize
issues about "wild language" that many linguists "sweep
under the rug" because they don't fits their elegant systems of
logic.  Although I have been working on logic for years, I appreciate the
importance of those wild issues.  They are the source of the thorny
examples and counterexamples that any truly adequate theory of linguistics
must address.
I am sorry that we will no longer have a chance to
discuss those issues with him.
John Sowa
