Robert Anton Wilson passed away on 1/11 @ 4:45 am.
He was an incredible writer and just an all around great guy. His work had a tremendous impact on me all through my life. I had a very few email exchanges with him in the late 90's and he was a gracious and warm guy who treated my stupid questions as if they were legitamate.
The world is a little darker and diminshed place with him gone.
