    All I have so far is a reference to this at Dyalog:

    https://www.dyalog.com/news/148/420/Roger-Hui.htm

    I never met Roger Hui even though I worked at I.P.Sharp many
    years ago (around 1972-1976) but Roger was an admirable force
    in the world of APL and of course J.
    Condolences.

    Apologies ... October 16th 2021

    I was born in the same city as Roger. However, not many people there know APL, J and Mr. Roger Hui. When I talk to my fellows about APL (with/without a demonstration) they simply think I am out of my mind. But I will continue to tell people about the
    languages.

    Rest in peace, Roger. Thank you for your work on APL and J language. Hopefully when we meet in our after life, we can have some fun of J together.
