We are deeply saddened to report the news, from Jeremy Kaye, that his
father, Alan S. Kaye, widely known for his work in Semitic linguistics,
passed away on May 31 due to complications of cancer. He was diagnosed with
bone cancer only one month earlier, on May 1, in the United Arab Emirates,
where he was on research leave. The cancer had already metastasized and
affected many of his organs. Jeremy brought Alan home to Fullerton on May 22.
