Reacción a "Reactions to Peter Higgs' death"

What sad news.  

From the mind of Professor Higgs came ideas which have had a profound impact on our understanding of the universe, of matter and of mass. He proposed the existence of a field that pervades the entire universe, that mass to particles from electrons to top quarks.   

He was also a true gentleman, humble and polite, always giving due credit to others, and gently encouraging future generations of scientists and scholars.
