List, I learned today in reading the October Newsletter of *The Charles S. Peirce Society* that Eliseo Fernandez has passed. I can't begin to tell you how saddened I am by this news as Eliseo was not only a great Peirce scholar, a profound and generous human being, but also a very good friend. I owe him more than I could ever say. At the moment I have no words to express the sorrow I feel at the loss of a truly great man.
Here is the announcement of his death as it appears in the Peirce Society Newsletter with a link to his obituary. *In Memoriam* After a long battle with cancer, Eliseo Fernandez passed away on May 13, 2017. He had worked for many years at the independent Linda Hall Library of Science, Engineering, and Technology in Kansas City, Missouri. An expert in Charles S. Peirce’s philosophy of science, he wrote many articles on biosemiotics inspired by Peirce’s work. His obituary may be found here <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__peircesociety.us15.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3D2d67a1b536f133c3e9f9d5d8c-26id-3Dfce6a9b4dc-26e-3Dd56fe5d557&d=DwMFaQ&c=2tStSn3Yyb7CMXxZW9nuG-Sh-vz6mhnySBmFi7HdCsM&r=OQt92e3UJAyeHafsi8GsCRG7n9KJWQgreHLAKdIHCu4&m=q3LHlfZQ8ZglR-KOSxqu7Wj8e8paY1pRZvtffvdJVdE&s=yeN_5u3_6oHmJH9kgD0ug6a958VjcczVWu34pMzR1pM&e=>. The Charles S. Peirce Society extends its condolences to Eliseo Fernandez’s wife Marci, family, and friends in the Kansas City area.
