The world's first (and greatest) science fiction/horror/fantasy fan, also known as Uncle Forry, and "Mr. Sci-Fi", slipped off of this Mortal Coil last night, December 4, 2009:

I remember meeting 4E once at one of my earliest Chiller Theatre conventions in NJ, either '99 or 2000 I believe. He was so energetic, enthusiastic, and personable with a theatrical flair to him. :cry:
