The handsome and talented...

kenrand passed away yesterday after a long illness.

I met Ken several times at Cons, and he was always gracious and helpful to this brand-new writer testing her toes in the scary world of original fiction. He was a fabulous mentor to many, and the SF/F world has lost a luminary.

So long, Ken. You will be missed.

Oh no! Oh wow... I knew he'd been quite ill lately, but wow... you just never expect this sort of news. It's not going to be the same without him.

No. No, it's not. :(

My condolences.

[agilebrit]

It...wasn't unexpected. But, yeah. :(
