It’s one of *those* times…

Every so often there’s a sudden crash of genre people we all know who pass away within weeks of each other. In what seemed a depressing rush to make the deadline for that part of the Oscar broadcast where they mention every showbiz person who passed away in the preceding twelve months, we lost Andreas, followed by Kolchak, and the Incredible Mr. Limpett. And now, tragically, Octavia Butler, who passed away of a stroke today after she collapsed outside her house.

Our condolences to the families of Darren McGavin, Don Knotts, and Octavia, plus I’m still reeling from the loss of Andreas.
