I'd heard this sad news.
Fortunately for future generations, he's left a legacy of a large catalogue
of works, and speaking personally quite a lot of it I've still to read (I
think I've read 3 of his many books, so plenty to go).
Definitely one of the greats in terms of widening the awareness of evolution
through popular science writing.
Personally, I would consider achieving even one percent of his success as a
writer to have been a successful career.
