He will very much be missed. I'm glad he stuck around as long as he did.

Truly one of my favourite science fiction writers ever. A real inspiration to so many, and someone who left the world a better place for having been here.

A true visionary and refined intellect. He helped us take a look at some of the Big Questions. (sniff)

For some reason, I thought he was already dead. In addition to his work in science fiction, I enjoyed his TV show.

This guy was a prophet in more ways than most would realize. In 1999 to 2002, I experienced something that was very 2001ish, black monolith thrown in to boot. However, instead of "2001; A Space Odyssey", it was more "2001; A Spiritual Idiocy". Maybe some day I'll explain it further. All I know, is that it let me know Clark was MORE visionary for sure. Perhaps it was one of those "zeitgeist" things.

I'm going to add Jack Vance to your list, if you don't mind. I read his work over and over and over.

A great one passes. He has been an inspiration to me, as he continued to re-enforce my interest in art and science.
His stories "Rescue Party" and "Against the Fall of Night" were how he got his hooks in me.
The world will be a little less bright without him. With his passing, I'm also reminded of the others that have gone through that final event horizon. Along with Heinlein and Asimov, I also remember Roger Zelazny ("Lord of Light"!), and Fred Saberhagen among others.
I rejoice in the works of the others that have taken over the reins such as Peter F. Hamilton, Alastair Reynolds, Iain M. Banks, Larry Niven, and the many others who will continue to contribute to our future history.
I salute Arthur C. Clark.
