I guess I'll never get my pint, then

Michael Sheard dies at 65

*happy memories of when GenCon was still fun*

Memories indeed.

Sad news indeed. I'll always remember him as Bronson. RIP.

See, I missed all that because I only moved to the UK in '96 and didn't spend my childhood here.

*sigh* I met him you know? He was a guest of honor at a local SF convention that I used to go to. He was an absolute star of a man, one of the nicest fellows I'd ever met.

*nods*
Many people (mostly from the UK) on my friends list have. He was special guest at UK Gen Con for two or three years running in the late 90s.
The best one was the auction where people bid on [livejournal.com profile] faerierhona snogging him.

I remember him from the ones I attended at Lufbra - he will be missed

*chokes and sadly expires*

He was neither clumsy nor foolish, a fan favourite who will be missed.
