lagilman: coffee or die (bye-bye)
[personal profile] lagilman
E-mail this afternoon warning us that the aptly-named Dean of SF was near and ready to go was followed a few minutes ago by the update that he had in fact left us.

I only got a few chances to hang with Jack, at various conventions over the years, but lord, he was one of a kind, in personality, in talent, and in heart, and we thought hoped he was going to outlive us all.

Remove your hat and raise a glass, the Old Man has left the building.

Sorry to hear it. I got to meet him once at a convention too.

Oh, no.

He had such a very long run, though. We were amazingly lucky to have him so long.

Kept looking up and saying "He's still here? Maybe he's an alien, that's where all the good stuff came from?"

(Glass raised. Jack Willianson has left the building.)
