DAMN! Thank goodness he was a writer and will exist through his work forever!

My all time favorite short story is "Frost and Fire" by him.

The NPR story: http://www.npr.org/2012/06/06/154424...ury-dies-at-91

I love the ending, I think it sums up his life/belief/attitude:

"Bradbury suffered a stroke at age 80 and could no longer write — but he continued to dream. He was so certain mankind would land on Mars, he asked to be buried there. That may never happen, but it didn't stop him from believing it was possible."
