I didn't know him well either: I've served him a fair number of drinks over the years at cons, and exchanged the odd word, but he was a huge part of the texture of British sf for many many years and everything feels odd without him. A lovely man, a great writer.
Great stories Catie. That photo seems to truly capture what everyone whoever met him says about him. What a great legacy to leave behind, great books and so many memories of laughter. Rest in peace indeed good sir.
Until I read this, I had forgotten what Iain had been doing hopping around on one foot at the panel, only that he had been hopping around on one foot. This puts it all into wonderfully surreal perspective. :)
