| Abstract | Having received news of the passing of Alwyn Horadam this last July, I was determined that I should write something in his honour in which my own contact with him is described and combined with some introductory details on what I feel is his major endowment to the community of mathematicians - the so called and pre-eminent Horadam sequence whose specialisations thereof are great in number. |
