Such a great scientist, one-of-a- kind person, and a friend. He was one of the warmest and most enjoyable people I knew, both in an argument and in an evening of shooting the sh__. Such a tragic loss. You will be missed but will live on in so many that you touched. RIP
Sliman was a great friend, as full of life as anyone I know. Terrified of heights (I didn't know it at the time) he went along with my plan to hike an off-limits, unreconstructed part of the Great Wall. Here he is, half-way through and at the end. RIP, Sliman, it was a great run!
