I say, Joe it's jolly frightening out here.
Nonsense dear boy, you should be more like me.
But look at you! You're shaking all over!
Shaking? You silly goose! I'm just doing the Watusi

Ray Bradbury and Anne McAffrey, both within a few months of each other. Lots of giants falling this year.

Read The Martian Chronicles as a kid in the 1960s, been a Bradbury fan ever since. He had a very long lifetime of great work, we should all be as fortunate. markf

He will be missed, but he can take comfort in the fact that he outlived Clark by a year, Heinlein by four years, and Asimov by 19 years. He also outlived John Huston (who stole credit for the screenplay for Moby Dick) by a full decade.

He also lived to see a lot of technology he predicted come to pass.
91 is a good age for anyone, but it's still very sad that he's gone.
