[CPM-SPIRE-L] Terrible news about Danny Breslauer

[Shunsuke Inenaga]

I was stunned by this sudden and sad news.

Danny was my new colleague and friend. I met him for the first time at 
CPM 2011 in Palermo, but our close relationship started January this 
year when he contacted me on one of my CPM 2016 papers. Then we started 
collaboration and had fruitful discussions by e-mails and Skype. Despite 
his disease, he was still passionate to solve the problems.

He privately visited Japan this year, and I met him with my Japan-based 
colleagues. We were quite happy to achieve good solutions to the 
problems, and our first draft was finally up in mid December. I e-mailed 
Danny to have a look at the draft, but it seemed too late as he did not 
reply. Then I heard about the passing of Danny... I knew that his 
disease was serious but never imagined he would have passed away this 
soon. Very sad and shocking.

Danny was a brilliant scholar and was full of ideas. His deep insights 
opened new perspectives on the problems. Our paper with Danny will soon 
be posted to arXiv and will be submitted to a journal.

Danny, Rest In Peace.
