There was another tribute of similar ilk, but I can't find it now.

I heard about this on the day. I guess I should have posted this. The book by Conway and Sloane, Sphere Packing, Lattices and Groups is great, and mine has lots of sticky notes coming out of it.

Yes, it is sad. He dies from the corona virus, aged 82. RIP John.

A wonderful mathematician. He wrote many nice books, also. His book with Richard Guy “The book of Numbers" is a little chef d’oeuvre.

He is simply dead in this subdomain. All his information has merely jumped to another domain where he lives; having drinks now, with Schrodinger, Bryce DeWitt, Hugh Everett the Third, John Archibald Wheeler, and company. Do I really think this? Naw, just a bit of a nice thought when crap occurs that one has zero control over.
