From twitter: "Some very sad news for friends and colleagues of Henry Story. He passed away suddenly on Tuesday of a heart attack leaving behind a wife, three kids under 9 and a nearly finished thesis. I [Wendy Hall] was his PhD supervisor. He will be sorely missed. RIP Henry. You were quite unique"

He was a guy with interests in philosophy and mathematics/computer science at the same time and I really liked it. One day we discussed of the influence of structuralism in mathematics here and I enjoyed a lot the discussion. I’m sad that it will never happen again.

It would be nice if he could be awarded his PhD posthumously, assuming the thesis is complete enough (a bit like Scott Johnson, Ross Street's student)

Such shocking news. Nothing could have prepared me for this. May his soul rest in peace.
