I’m so sad to hear this. Many years ago, Marek and I shared an office as postdocs at McGill. He was always a kind and decent soul, always willing to talk to any student who wanted his advice. I saw him again recently for the first time in many years, and it was like we were still postdocs sharing an office. From: Ryszard Paweł Kostecki Date: Wednesday, March 6, 2024 at 12:16 PM To: categories@mq.edu.au Subject: Marek Zawadowski Attention : courriel externe | external email With a great sadness and a feeling of a heartbreaking premature loss I let the categorical community know that Marek Zawadowski has passed away on Sunday, 3 March 2024. The funeral will take place in Warszawa, on Monday, 11 March 2024. (More detailed information is available here: https://klepsydry.kupamieci.pl/powiadomienie/DBTQMS). I will miss very much his kind presence, sense of humour, and approach to many things -- in research, and in life. And I will always remain grateful for his mentorship, which has opened my mind to mathematics. Here is a photo of Marek from 87th PSSL at Patras (in April 2008): https://www.fuw.edu.pl/~kostecki/photos/_cqg/marek.jpg and a photo of him, walking the path with André Joyal: https://www.fuw.edu.pl/~kostecki/photos/_cqg/marek_andre.jpg Ryszard Kostecki You're receiving this message because you're a member of the Categories mailing list group from Macquarie University.
