sadI just received the following from Jane Sibley:
Hi, all!Dick was a historian of fandom and a member of the filk community for many years.
I just got this email from Tamar Lindsay. Please pass the news on to the various SCA groups, filking community, and to anyone else who knew Dick. I talked to him just yesterday and he was weak but OK at that point. I'll call Tamar tomorrow,but she will probably be rather busy with arrangements.
he will be missed bigtime.

I would have called from the hospital but that rant can wait.
Dick had a stroke, apparently one of a series that had passed unnoticed because the symptoms were atypical until the one last night. The doctors at Prince George's Hospital operated to remove the clot, but the complications that followed were untreatable.
Richard Harris Eney died this afternoon, December 22, 2006.
He was 69 years old.
Plans have not been made yet. I do not intend to do the standard funeral scene. There may be a memorial service at some time. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the charity of your choice.
