And before any of you get up in arms, yes it's sad that he died but beyond the impact his series has made upon me (both good and bad) that's all I know him as (an author who streched a trilogy into a 10 plus book series)

That's a shame. I lost steam with the books around Book 5, when I realized I had very little interest in the mail storyline, and was only reading for the sub-plots...but still, I know those books are MAJOR influences on a lot of readers still to this day. And of course, I'm sorry for his family and friends.
Here's hoping that it wasn't sudden, and even if he didn't finish the book, he left notes behind so that someone can. I imagine that even if it was sudden, a professional writer would be able to piece something together from what he had planned.
No more wheel of time!
I was REALLY looking forward to the last book...
