Sad day. Almost broke down and cried when I read about it at my day job.

Yep--very sad. He was one of the best. A real loss.

I understand he died at his desk. Now that's a writer.

I'm sorry to hear this. Was just re-watching his Jesse Stone series (Tom Selleck). The man knew dialogue. Maybe some of the more hard-boiled writers on Crimespace would like to memorialize him, his way?

[Dennis Leppanen]

Yes, I will miss him. Loved his Westerns. Enjoyed his latest character, Police Chief, Jesse Stone. I guess we have one more to look forward to.
