Stan Burns: R.I.P.

Mystery Fanfare: Stan Burns: R.I.P.

This is sad news, though we knew it was coming.  Stan was a friend of mine for many years through our association in DAPA-Em, the amateur press association for fans of crime and mystery fiction.  I was also lucky enough to meet him in person at a couple of Bouchercons and to correspond with him a bit through the years.  R.I.P., Stan.

Stan lived on the West Coast, I live here in the East. He and I never met, but we corresponded off and on, and of course we exchanged comments in the DAPA-Em mailings. This is sad news indeed.

Stan had a tough time with many physical ailments over the years.

RIP

Stan was a great guy. He just had the worst luck in the world. Stan will be missed.

So sorry to hear this, Stan was a good guy with tough health problems. We talked about about SF more than mystery fiction, not always agreeing, but always enjoying the conversation. We also shared comments in DapaEm. He'll be missed. RIP, man.
