I just read this news yesterday, and have been deeply saddened by it
ever since. I never had the honor of meeting Dr. Schelter in person,
but I knew him via email as an extremely helpful, outstandingly
knowledgeable, persevering and diligent servant to the mathematical
education and empowerment of the public. To say that he will be
missed doesn't begin to do justice to our loss. In him resided a
confluence of skills and will which, quite honestly, I haven't even
the slightest vision of how they can be replaced. And this is indeed
tragic, as I feel he would be most gratified to know that his gift to
humanity would live beyond him. Perhaps, in time, a small army might
be found to attempt to fill his shoes, however inadequately.
