Gary, list,

 

I too will miss Eliseo, although I only met him once, at the Lowell conference 
in 2014. We had a conversation between sessions that was one of the highlights 
of the conference, for me, as he radiated warmth and generosity, not to mention 
his Peirce scholarship. I wish we could have continued that conversation after 
the conference. And I hope that some part of his spirit will live on in our 
peirce-l conversations.

Subject: [PEIRCE-L] The death of Eliseo Fernandez

 

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.  The Charles S. Peirce Society extends its condolences to Eliseo 
Fernandez’s wife Marci, family, and friends in the Kansas City area.
