    The more professional way to state this is by adding the life span dates after the name, as in “Philip Scott (19xx-2023)”.

    I would change it if I knew the birth date (can’t seem to find anything online).

    That is exactly why I did not add the notice of his death in that form.

    This obituary says he was born December 27, 1947, but it has no info other than birth and death dates (not even his middle name or initial) so it may be untrustworthy.

    Good catch! I have added “(1947? - 2023)”.

    While I was at it, I changed “Canadian based researcher” to “Professor of Mathematics at University of Ottawa” and added a sentence highlighting the impact of his book with Lambek.
