Although Sibe was not a categorist but a general and algebraic = topologist, I am sure that most of you knew his name and possibly his = work dedicated from the early 80=E2=80=99s to Shape and Strong Shape = Theory. Anyway he was deeply aware of categorical methods as testified = by the large amount of his papers, the book with Jack Segal, finishing with the monumental . He was the first to categorize = Borsuk=E2=80=99s Shape theory adopting the =E2=80=9Cinverse system=E2=80=9D= approach. Less than one month ago he told me the he was hardly working = on a problem concerning products in the strong shape category of = topological spaces. For all who had the pleasure and the honor tho know him and to work with = him, Sibe leaves a great legacy of mathematical passion and rigour = together with a special humanity. He his deeply missed by all his friends and colleagues all over the = world. Ciao Sibe, wherever you are now. Luciano Stramaccia= [For admin and other information see: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/ ]
