    "Vale Manfred  - the philosophical programmer

    Alumni and staff will be saddened to hear of the death of Manfred von Thun on 23 October after a long illness.  Manfred was a member of the philosophy department from early 1972 until his retirement in 2003, but remained an honorary associate until 2009. Manfred specialised in logic, philosophy of science, philosophy of mind, computer programming and cybernetics. He was also renowned for developing the computer programming language, Joy. He will be sadly missed."

     That's right, 2011, over a year ago. I could not, though, find that information anywhere on this forum, thought it should belong here.
