Many of you know that Barry has been fighting cancer for some time now.
We are sorry to report that he passed away late Tuesday night from
complications of his illness. He went peacefully in bed, with all the
comforts we could provide.

According to his wishes, he will be cremated and inurned in Arlington
National Cemetery whenever they resume burials. We hope to hold a
celebration of his life at some point when we can all gather together
again.

If you feel moved to make a contribution in his honor to a good cause,
please consider the organizations that were near and dear to his heart:
Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the American Civil Liberties
Union, the Nature Conservancy, and the Science Fiction and Fantasy
Writers of America (SFWA)\342\200\231s Where the Need is Greatest Fund.
