I'm sorry to hear of your father's death, although, at that age, it
cannot have been unexpected. My own father also died of a stroke this
year at a similar age (91), so I probably know how you feel. Death, at
the end of a long and productive life, inevitably brings some sadness,
but it should not be the cause of great grief.
If you are planning to do some work on Eric's astronomy-related ideas,
you should probably read through the objections to them that were
written in this newsgroup by several people, such as "Spaceart" and
myself. If you can't find the original messages, I am sure that we
would be happy to summarize them for you.
When you go through his papers, you may come across the calculations
and a draft magazine article that he told us that he had written, but
had mislaid. If you do find these, I am sure several of us here would
be interested in seeing them.
