Hugh Silverman, in memoriam

Someone told me tonight that Professor Hugh Silverman of Stony Brook has died. His WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE seems to verify this, but gives no details, nor have I found details anywhere else.

Many of us knew Hugh best as the tireless organizer of the International Association for Philosophy and Literature (IAPL) conferences, always held in interesting locations. Just last year I was part of the Alphonso Lingis panel at the IAPL meeting in Tallinn, Estonia, and Hugh didn’t seem to have aged a bit.

My condolences to those who knew him well.
