    I was deeply saddened by the death of one of the greatest sons of the lake. Surely it’s a profound loss to the entire academic society. As an ardent scholar of his writings and admirer of his arguments, I’m burdened to imagine that the academic giant is gone.

    May the Almighty Lord rest his soul in eternal peace.
