goddamn, first Conway, then Vinberg and now him
was he the only actual chad (looks-wise) in the history of mathematics?

hopefully, Erdos and he are reunited in mathematical heaven, perusing The Book

Here is a question I have. Would heaven for Erdos really be access to the book? Would it not be an eternity of writing the book? Why would he want to see all the theorems and their proofs?
Heaven for me would be infinite time, enthusiasm, and mental fortitude to discover as much math as I can possibly discover. I don't want to spend an eternity reading all the answers. Imagine that, reading one of the proofs in the book and depriving yourself of the opportunity to ever discover it.
Of course part of a mathematician's heaven must be the ability to grant selective memory erasure, so this may not be a concern.

Graham was a wonderful man. I highly recommend anyone read The Man Who Loved Only Numbers, which is a biography of Erdos but contains quite a lot of Graham's story as well since their lives were so intertwined.
