(Not having a dig at fjtorres but this knee-jerk reaction when any famous person dies - yes dies, not passes or is taken from us - is getting ridiculous.)
It is, as they say, a good innings, and many are not that fortunate. It is, however, still too soon, if for no other reason that I and others took such great pleasure from his writings. From this point of view he could die at 100 and it would still be too soon.
