Ray Bradbury died last night
Just yesterday he’d been taken off the ventilator at noon. The doctors said it would be a few hours before he could speak so that we could understand him, but 10 minutes off the damned thing and he was asking to go home!
He died in his sleep, but Ray will live on… not I hope and must believe just in his work, but in multi-verse. Billions upon billions of Bradburies.. each writing, loving and creating new worlds for us to inhabit in our minds and hearts.
And perhaps, somewhere out there, there is even a place where his characters,his fireman and his Pippins sits besides Dicken’s Pippins and all the other great characters born from heart and emotion dwell. Remember Ray
I — we all– the whole world loved him so much.
He was a great writer– a great human being — a great friend.. my mentor– my :rabbi” and my second father.
