Aurelio Carboni, 5 December 1942 - 11 December 2012

It is with great sadness I write to let you know that our friend Aurelio Carboni died peacefully on Tuesday morning, 11 December 2012.

We had been friends and collaborators since I first met him in Milan in1980.
I know that all of you who knew him personally will share my distress at his passing.
We remember his friendship, his spirit, his humour and his passion for mathematical research.
It is a great loss to the Category Theory community.

Our thought are with his wife Patrizia. The funeral ceremony will be at the Lambrate cemetery tomorrow at 11am.

best regards
Bob Walters
