Does anyone know the time of his death? I am going to say Kaddish for him tonight at Havdalah, and in future years I will do so on his Yahrzeit (anniversary on the Hebrew calendar). But the Hebrew day changes at sunset,* and your post is timestamped 8:09pm, so the time is also important.
* "And there was evening and there was morning, one day."
Damn. I never caught an actual announcement about his condition. I knew he was not there because of illness and the general impression I got from overheard bits of conversation was that it was serious, but I didn't realize it was that serious.
I didn't get to know him as well as I should, but he was a good and kind person. He'd become custodian of a bunch of old cassette recordings from cons in the 1980s that were just slowly decaying in my house. He provided copies of what he'd converted to modern media on SD cards that he paid for himself.
