Yep, same here. He was one of the few Western authors translated and widely published in USSR, so his books were very popular.. I destroyed a few reading cover-to-cover, making notes, etc. There's nobody out there who could convey the enthusiasm for science like him. He could take the most difficult topics and talk about them in a very accessible ways, so even a 13 year old like me would understand it and become interested. He will be missed :(
