With much sadness we note the death of John Leech, on 28 September 1992. Perhaps best known for his discovery of the “Leech Lattice” (which provides the best known sphere-packing in 24 dimensions), John will also be remembered for his contributions to the use of computers in mathematics, and to computational algebra in particular.
