I was a regular here some years back and had a somewhat cordial online relationship with Clive. Yesterday his name popped into my head and I googled him.

Here's what I found:

Sorry if this has been previously posted; it knocked me the hell out!

There were a lot of people who knew him who were shocked by this. But you never know.

Howard Lester told me about this some time back... Sure stunned me... Clive & I had corresponded now and then over the years since I ended regular participation on SAA. Most recently we talked about star diagonals, particularly prism diagonals... So this story came as quite a shock...

Wow! Very sorry to learn of this turn of events with Clive.

He had a great sense of humour and often contributed some really great gems.

From what I recall, Clive used to work at McMaster University and would often take a break from his work and provide us with a lot of very funny one-liners.

Anthony.
