 From the New York Time obituaries:

Arthur Jay Siegel  	 	
SIEGEL - Arthur Jay , 55, died Tuesday evening of an unexpected heart 
attack. An international business consultant and a self-taught 
mathematician/computer scientist, he invented PyGeo - a software used to 
create interactive, three-dimensional geometric spaces. He grew up in 
East Meadow. He and his loving wife of 29 years, Carol, moved four years 
ago to Yorktown Heights. He treasured a close friendship with his son, 
Benjamin, 23. In addition to Ben and Carol, Arthur is survived by his 
father, Jacob Siegel, sisters Beth Siegel, Marian Siegel and Marsha 
Berzon and many loving nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws and friends. 
Funeral services will be held at Riverside Memorial Chapel, 21 W. Broad 
Street, Mount Vernon, New York at noon on Sunday.

I'm thunderstruck by this bolt out of the blue. As you know, Arthur was 
doing wonderful work on the beta version of VPython. I never met him in 
person, but he was a good colleague. I had been amazed by how quickly he 
came up to speed on complex aspects of Visual. I'll miss him.
