I came to love this man through his writing, and I believe many posting here did as well. I've read, at least once, just about all of the novels and many essays. Forever the humble optimist, a self ascribed "sore headed occupant of the drawer labeled 'science fiction'." A real treasure.
And how prophetic his book from the 50s–Player Piano.
"We could have saved this thing but we were too damn cheap!" K.V. RIP

Kurt Vonnegut was a fucking saint!

Though we never met, I miss this man everyday.

Deep gratitude to Mr. Vonnegut. Thank you Sir.

Kurt, we need you now more than ever.

I feel it wasn't coincidental I grabbed Cat's Cradle in a rush before English class.
To me, he was one of the most humane writers.
I loved his simplicity when explaining some controversial topics.
I loved his honesty.
His words, everything.
Everything he ever said made perfect sense to me.
I wish I could have met him.

First Confuscius, now Vonnegut, and soon someone else will come along that will achieve a higher plane of thought and wisdom than the rest of us mere mortals... dare I say it; so it goes.

If ever you wish your father was around, to pass on good advice and counsel. Tell yourself..He ought to have said what this wonderful man said. Would we listen, no we would sit entranced at his cleverness, we would laugh and we would try to be as funny. but there was only one and he has gone. And I hold his words so dear.
