Paul Kurtz passed away this weekend. He was a prominent skeptic and secular humanist. Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at the State University of New York at Buffalo.
Kurtz founded Prometheus Books. He was also the founder and past chairman of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry (formerly the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP)), the Council for Secular Humanism, and the Center for Inquiry.
I met him in the early 2000's in an event in Ft. lauderdale. He was such a nice and eloquent man. He will be sorely missed.
