I think it may have had something to do with the fact that you were still in train limbo somewhere between Philly and New York at the time...
But I can't stop thinking about how there was no indication of mortality anywhere around him, how frighteningly easy it seems to be to find yourself sitting on a convention panel one week and gone the next. When someone who has had a full span of years passes on, you might mourn, but you *understand*, in the end - it comes to everybody, after all. But this - this - this you just feel lost and outraged about. It should not be allowed, that a man vanish thus in his prime, with so much to look forward to.
