I just received this e-mail.
EphBlog readers will be saddened to learn that Dick Sabot passed away on Wednesday. He died of a heart attack while exercising at The Springs in Williamstown.
I can’t find confirmation on the web, but I can’t imagine why someone would lie to us. Sabot was a fine professor 20 years ago and, by all accounts, a stand-up guy. He was also kind enough to answer my Williams-related questions on several occasions.
Condolences to all.

Dick passed away on the evening of the 6th - he died of a sudden heart attack while working out in a gym in Williamstown. His students, his friends, his family, and his colleagues from Tripod, Eziba and Geekcorps are all heartbroken…
Dick will be remembered at a serivce on July 17th, at his farm in Williamstown - I have details for anyone interested in attending. It’s likely that Williams will also do a memorial in the fall.
