I’m still working through my RSS backlog and wouldn’t have known about this if I hadn’t noticed a post from Rogue Classicism. I’m not really qualified to talk about him personally. We only exchanged a few of emails, but he was always helpful. I can’t really comment academically either, his professional influence was extraordinarily wide ranging as a read through his entries on the Stoa will show.

It’s a cliché to say that someone’s death is a great loss, but sometimes clichés are true.

There’s an obituary at the Stoa and a post on his influence by Tom Elliot.
