[CPM-SPIRE-L] Fwd: Sad New about Alberto

[Amihood Amir]

Dear Friends,

Today is a hard day for our community. One of the founders of 
combinatorial pattern matching passed away last night.
See Raffaele's message below.

Our hearts are with Titti and Rosa.

Dear Friend,

last night here in Lipari Alberto had a massive hearth attach. He is no 
longer with us.
His family, I and a few other friends here are in a sort of vacuum.
The only rather grim consolation is that, laying on his bed, he was the 
image of peace.

Please share the  sad news  with the scientific community. I have 
contacted all Italian Universities in which Alberto has worked.

His funeral will be in Salerno, where his wife and daughter have decided 
he should rest in piece.

I will give you more news as I get them.

Sadly,

Raffaele
