Just read the news that Michael Boardman passed away yesterday.

We are sorry to share the sad news that emeritus professor Michael Boardman passed away peacefully this morning. Mike was a giant of modern homotopy theory and a wonderful friend and colleague, and we will miss him.

He was one of my teachers at Hopkins, a long time ago now. I didn't know him well, but he was very kind.
