I did not know Professor Lewandowski personally, and only saw him at this year's LOOPS conference in Florida. But my admiration and gratitude towards him goes far back. I became familiar with his name about 2 years ago when I decided to write an undergraduate thesis on the mathematical aspects of LQG. I perused paper after paper by Professor Lewandowski and had impressed upon me the brilliance of his scientific mind. In countless episodes of intellectual agony, I found solace in his foundational work in the field. For an aspiring young physicist, such an experience is the equivalent of a toddler being helped by an elder gain its balance while learning how to walk. And thus I developed a very personal-intellectual bond with Professor Lewandowski that, unbeknown to him, I cherish to this day. And this is why I feel so saddened by the news of his demise. May you rest in peace, Professor.
