He created and left us great things during his lifetime. Sorry to hear about this unexpected lost.
An example of disciplinary solitudes: before reading obituaries today, I had no idea that Hans Reichel was the inventor of the daxophone, while his Wikipedia entry discusses his musical inventions and activities, but does not (as of this morning) mention his typeface designs.
