There’s an obit on Oxford’s web site https://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/news/2516-full.html and the ACM’s https://cacm.acm.org/news/in-memoriam-c-a-r-hoare/
Tony died? That sucks. I had the pleasure of having an office a couple of doors down from him for a few years. Every time I went to ask him something, I'd learn something interesting. Never anything related to the question I asked, but always something very interesting.
Bah! Immediately after posting, the site seems to have been slashdotted.
