JOHN ARCHIVAL WHEELER (1911-2008)

Alex CUNNINGHAM on April 14th, 2008
I first read the news through a remarkable and emotive obituary by Daniel at CosmicVariance Blog

Yesterday I spent a couple of hours at Wheeler’s bedside. I tried to say thank you. But it was impossible to convey how much he means to me, and how grateful I am to him. In that moment when I crossed the threshold to his office, I was embarking on a new path. I am still on that path, and every day I am grateful to him for showing me the way.

John Wheeler died this morning.
