Don't know how many here will care or not. Here is an excerpt from a 
close friend of his, Rick Doblin:

"Albert died at home at 9 AM Basel time from a myocardial infarction, 
quick and relatively painless. Two caretakers were there with him at the 
time. The only people who were told were people from Burg, the village 
where he lived, and Peter and others were surprised the word of his 
death had gotten out so quickly. It's the age of the internet...

Albert had been increasingly thinking of death these last few months. He 
had stopped leaving his home, where he said he could feel the spirit of 
Anita, his wife who died December 20, 2007. He didn't come to the World 
Psychedelic Forum a month ago, but did entertain some visitors at his 
home. We spoke on the phone the day after the Basel conference and he 
was happy and fulfilled. He'd seen the renewal of LSD psychotherapy
research with his own eyes, as had Anita. I said that I looked forward 
to discussing the results of the study with him in about a year and a 
half and he laughed and said he'd try to help the research however he 
could, either from this side or "the other side".

Now it even more falls on younger generations to transform LSD into a 
legal medicine and beyond that into a tool for personal growth legally 
available to all.

The guy was 102, an old age for anybody. It looks like he stood by his 
"problem child", knowing what a good medicine it can be when used correctly.
