One of the most respected editers of the SF field, David G Hartwell has died suddenly after a fall.
He was nominated for a Hugo Award no less than 41 times for his editing work, winning on three occasions.
I met him once (at one of the Glasgow Worldcons) and he seemed a thoroughly nice man but never having sold to the US I never had contact with him in his capacity as an editor.
That number of Hugo nominations tells of the esteem in which he was held by those in the SF world. His is a sad loss.
David Geddes Hartwell: 10/7/1941 – 20/1/2016. So it goes.
