I often find these threads about someone's death depressing, but in the case of this extraordinary man it's more so than ever.

If you haven't ever read The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat then you've missed out, his book Musicophilia is astoundingly insightful to any who have a love of music.

When he learned of his terminal cancer he wrote this engaging piece.
