'Friends,
Poul Anderson passed away last night, July 31-August 1, around midnight. During
the afternoon, he received hundreds of emails and messages from friends and
readers and fellow writers, which Astrid and Karen printed out and read to him.
He died knowing (and how!) that he was loved and valued, and hearing how much
his work had entertained and moved so many. Though he was weak at the end,
there was no loss of mental capacity, and my last conversation with him was
slow but sparkling with the curiosity and deep-seated gentlemanliness that Poul
always had, and which was, I think, built into his whole body and being.
He is survived by his wife and writing partner, Karen, his daughter Astrid,
brother John, grandchildren Erik and Alexandra, nieces Janet and Cathy, and by
millions of readers.'
