Ia! Keith! Deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

Doc gave the gifts of camaraderie and fun through the art he shared, be it music or writing. He will be remembered and deeply missed by many.

Sharon, Erik

I share your grief over Keith's passing. He was truly a giant in his field, a good friend and an inspiration. I can't begin to express how much I feel we (in the Call of Cthulhu community) owe him. I remember him seated at a table in a small cafe near my surgery, with a cafe noir and a croissant in front of him, taking it all in, loving Paris and its suburbs, with his beret on his head, the quintessential American artiste blending in. I am so sorry we did not meet...

Doc/Keith touched the lives of many people. Please know that he was much loved by people who never even met him. You were lucky to have had him in your lives. Our collective wish of strength and heartfelt embrace in deepest sympathy.

Sharon, I just heard and I am so sorry. Call me at Payne A/C if I can do anything for you.

Sharon, my deepest sympathies to you and Erik for your loss. I corresponded with Keith for many years, and without his support, encouragement and wise advice I would never have become the writer and journalist I am today. Keith's kindness and friendship will be truly missed by many around the world.

Dear Sharon and the entire Herber family -

Doc's passing has struck the roleplaying game hobby community like a hammer-blow. Like many, I never had the benefit of meeting Doc personally, yet had the benefit of knowing him through his wonderful published material and by e-mail correspondence (wherein Doc was always funny, smart, and very kind). He touched the lives of so many of us for the better - he will live on in our collective memories and wherever imaginations are sparked by...
