Abstract
Editor's note: Richard A.Waldron passed away in Northern Ireland on May 24 of this year, shortly before he was to retire from the University of Ulster. Just prior to his death, Professor Waldron had agreed to join the editorial board of APEIRON, and contributed an article on stellar collapse which he eagerly looked forward to seeing published in this journal (see page 4). Richard A. Waldron's youthful enthusiasm for physics and his compulsive desire to discover nature's secrets were at once endearing and inspirational. Thomas E. Phipps Jr. has generously agreed to produce an account of his work, and offers this appraisal of the debt owed by science to an extraordinary human being.
