RIP: Jim Young

[gerisullivan]

Jim Young is gone. His memory will always, always be a blessing.

Memorial Service information will be posted when arrangements are made. The early word is that it's most likely going to be the end of next week in Minneapolis. I'm hosting the NESFA Other Meeting on Sunday, June 24th, and have no idea whether or not I'll be able to be in Minneapolis in person. I'll obviously be there in spirit.

Sympathy to Jim's brother Denny, his niece Amy, the entire Young family, and science fiction fandom, especially Minneapolis fandom. Added sympathy to my dear, dear friends and loved ones Fred Levy Haskell, Ken Fletcher, and Nate Bucklin. They and Frank Stodolka (who I never really got to know) were Minn-StF's Floundering Fathers along with Jim.

I only found out about his illness earlier today (this afternoon UK time), and am very sad. I only met him a few times when he was stationed in the UK, but liked him very much.
