Robert Asprin (1946-2008)

On May 22, 2008, Bob passed away quietly in his home in
New Orleans, LA. He had been in good spirits and working
on several new projects, and was set to be the Guest of Honor
at a major science fiction convention that very weekend.
He is survived by his mother, his sister, his daughter and his
son, and his cat, Princess, not to mention countless friends and fans and numerous legendary fictional characters.

He will be greatly missed.


If you wish to send a note to me or Bob’s family,
please write to Jodynye  @  yahoo.com



The family and friends of Robert Asprin would like to thank everyone for their generous help in
this sad time. There will be no formal funeral; Robert’s wishes were for a simple cremation.
Instead, a memorial pub crawl will be held in his honor in the French Quarter of New Orleans.

As with so many other fans, I have enjoyed reading the Myth Adventures and am deeply saddened by the loss of such a wonderful writer. I am so grateful to him and to you, for all of the wonderful stories and characters, the humor and creativity to be enjoyed over and again. He leaves a legacy to be proud of. He has lightened my heart many times, and stretched my mind not a little.

Sincerely,

There will never be so great a man as one who can put pen to page, and
open up a whole new world to a child who had been blind to all but pain.
Robert Asprin was this writer to me, and brought a thirst for reading
that continues to this day. From the day I found Another fine Myth at
age 10, I have eagerly awaited each and every book he touched. He will
be missed, and my thoughts are with you and yours.

dont know what to say...

Just RIP.

Thieves' World was one of the first glimpses I had of the fantasy world I wanted to see, a grown up one.  I will always be grateful to Robert Lynn Asprin for showing it to me.

My sincerest condolences to his family and friends,

I haven't talked to Bob or Yang in years...as a rampant punster and old  SCAer myself, (Sonya of Miramovich, c. A.S. 7) who gafiated due to illness and time (lack of same) I will miss his ...um...interesting sense o huma. Not to mention the books.

My best wishes to his family. I'll toss back a toast to his spirit, and I'll meet Yang in Valhalla, on the Very Last Day. He will be missed. And I'll put his name on my Samhain altar, this year.

I grieve with you all.
