Indeed sad, Jim. While I never met Denis I had some private email
correspondance with him as well as exchanges on the list and found him as
fascinating and full of information and enthusiasm as I'm sure he was even
more of in person.

I regret now I didn't take the time to look him up when I was in
England last year.

Perhaps the best way to remember him and his contributions is to solve this
thing, so his name can be known as part of the team that did it.
