We will miss him for all his cruciverbal contributions and as an all-round good egg.

An IOS era is ending in fact. There will be only two more Sunday Quixotes. After that I shall revert to the daily paper where I had over a hundred puzzles published in the late 1980s before being transferred by Louise Levene to the new Sunday paper. My new slot will be fortnightly on Mondays.

Got undone on the last one 2D where I kept reading the clue as “….country” – yet again another plea to the powers-that-be at the Indy to increase the font size, in the online version at least, making use of all that white space. Favourites were 9A MINUTIA, btw, the singular (of “minutiae”) to be consistent with the clue definition, 13D MISPRINT and 14D GLADNESS.
