The Lensman's Children

Chubby, brunette Eunice Kinnison sat in a rocker, reading the Sunday papers and listening to the radio. Her husband Ralph lay sprawled upon the davenport, smoking a cigarette and reading the current issue of EXTRAORDINARY STORIES against an unheard background of music. Mentally, he was far from Tellus, flitting in his super-dreadnaught through parsec after parsec of vacuous space. E.E. "Doc" Smith, Triplanetary, Chapter 5: "1941"

4SJ Ack-Er Man

Reports are coming that Mr. Science Fiction has passed away. The fan's fan.

Addendum: His website (down at the moment). SFWA's obituary. The Crotchety Old Fan has a visual tribute. John Scalzi makes a mention. Tribute at BoingBoing. Wil Wheaton's tribute. Obituary at Time magazine.
