Aside from his puzzles (which I adored), he wrote great books on math problems and theorems, and some pop philosophy that I really enjoyed. And lived into his '90s, so we got a lot from him.

I used to have one of his puzzle books, probably it’s still somewhere at my parent’s place. I liked it. I am not so much familiar with his other work and life though.

Actually, "dying" will happen in your lifetime, being dead won't.

Needlessly Pedantic Man to the rescue.
