He went to the same school as me...well, actually, maybe I went to the same school as him as it was about 40 years later.

Just read this in his obit on the BBC News site

Marking his 90th birthday last year, he told fans: "I want to be remembered most as a writer. I want to entertain readers and hopefully stretch their imaginations as well.

"If I have given you delight in all that I have done, let me lie quiet in that night, which shall be yours anon."

Wonder if they'll play the Blue Danube at his funeral... fitting music methinks. He was a great visionary.

That's the suck, although he leaves a great library of creative works. RIP
