lagilmansemi-official news release: http://www.acole.com/news_archive/bulletin/chris_obit_7-4-05.html
Received word this morning that one of my former authors -- a great storyteller, and a great dinner partner -- has passed away.
*mourn*
I worked with Chris on two different series during my time at Roc, and he was a handful and a half, but always entertaining and funny, and totally professional when it came down details.
I can't imagine a world in which he's not at the other end of a phone line, calling me "Boss" and yelling "Hey, Gilman!" at the top of his lungs; a world in which he's not one-upping me by ordering his steak black and blue, and generally giving better than he got, gruff-wise.
It's a sadder, tamer world, today.
That's two people I care about, felled by COPD/diabetes. Things that could have been moderated, if not entirely prevented.
I need a dandelion break, now.
