I am incredibly saddened at the passing of Bill Lawvere. In my first term of graduate school in 1974, I found myself in Bill’s Algebra class and, looking back, it was the single most fortuitous and defining moment in my career. I was enthralled and captivated by a new view of mathematics, learning, and scholarship that opened my eyes and would serve as a fingerpost directing me towards my future path. Whatever modest successes I may have had as a mathematician I owe to Bill’s teachings, example, and mentorship. Others will speak more astutely than I ever could to his many, many contributions and accomplishments; what I will continue to cherish is his kind friendship and also his unmatched generosity of spirit. As I now reflect on Bill, what comes to mind is the definition of the word *mensch* - a person of integrity and honor, of kindness and consideration, someone to admire and emulate.

Dear colleagues, I met Bill only relatively recently at ct99 in Coimbra, so, for instance, I never saw him bringing up his political views in a public mathematical discussion, but I have witnessed many times his generosity and efforts to give deep and honest advice to colleagues of all ages, in that peculiar way of his which was both self confident and yet devoid of arrogance. He was also very patient. I have very fond memories of our conversations during ct meetings, at the Bristol seminar he organized , at the México workshops organized by Quico, and also in Arcadia with Fatima and Silvana. Motivated by Bill’s interest on o-minimal structures we once attended an important summer school on Model Theory. When the organizers realized Bill was there they made a public announcement celebrating his presence and invited him to chair a session. We Category Theorists were indeed privileged to share an epoch, or part of one, with Bill’s profound intellect. His results will influence our subject for many years. Still, I would like to encourage younger generations to continue studying his work, including his messages to this list, where they will find a treasure of remarkable brightness, full of fascinating ideas still to be pursued. Yours, Matías [For admin and other information see: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/ ]
Dear colleagues, I am really really sad for Bill departure. The scientific world, and category theory, lost a giant. His work was and will always be a continuous source of inspiration and motivation. He was also a very special friend for my husband, Bob Walters and, more recently, for me. Un forte abbraccio a Fatima and family.
