What a loss! A big one indeed. I have somewhere on my desk a paper on Yoruba religion and Islam, which he wrote and sent to me a short while ago, wanting my feedback. Alas, I never did. What a shame!
May those Baba JDY left behind be comforted. That's one jumbo tree pulled out of the endangered forest of Africa's academy. Wow!!!

Professor JDY Peel passed on this evening in London around 4 pm. He had been struggling with cancer in recent years. We have lost a great man, a great teacher, and a wonderful human being.
An obituary will follow.
