He was a good one. Riverworld was a very intriguing series, and Venus On A Half Shell is one of m fav comedy scifi books. There's not too much info right now, he just passed in his sleep.

Thank you for the link! He wasn't classed in the same league as Asimov etc., so sadly I doubt that there will be major write-up on him.
