Jack Vance was one of the first SF authors I ever read and his work blew me away when I read the Planet of Adventure series at the age of 11. Many years later, as a SF writer, I met and interviewed him in Seattle - he was blind, but still did a 2 hour signing session. One of the absolute greats. Thank you so much.

Jack Vance's Lyonesse was one of the first books to capture my heart. At 12 years old, I missed seeing Notre Dame so that I could read it in the hotel room. He forever influenced me and my desire to read. Thank you, Mr Vance. RIP

I often hoped to hear news of just one more Vance story on the way. I am sad that this will not happen.
He was a true master of his craft.

Hey!
What ya doin', Jack?
"Ohhh, just sittin' here, catching flies, ponderin' on about the universe.
Thought I'd give you a call."
Good to hear from you again.
"You know....." and on he went and went.
His spoken words as fluid and uniquely poetic as his writing.
Grandmaster and then some.
More than client, a friend.

Thank you, Mr Vance, for instilling the beauty of language in my science fiction reading.
Your characters and dialogue were always unique and wonderful. You brought erudition to even the most lowly roustabouts and never resorted to formulaic plots or characters. RIP.
