I am greatly saddened by the death of Tibor Machan. Though our friendship became a casualty of the PARC Wars, I retain and cherish superlative memories of the time he spent under my roof, being in New Zealand to deliver a SOLO lecture and talk to student groups and anyone who wanted to listen to him. His conversation was incessant, diverse and endlessly illuminating. His curiosity and joie de vivre were boundless. It was similarly edifying to have him present at SOLO in Newport Beach, California, in 2005. He was a frequent contributor to The Free Radical and SOLO when things were good between us, and his loss is a nostalgic reminder to me of how high we soared before sectarianism struck. There was no better man to have in one's corner: KASS, erudite and indefatigable.
There's a nice tribute to him here:
