:(

The article is kind of long to post in full here, but he died on April 11, 2007. More of the story about him and his life is located at this link:

I also suggest checking out his books. They're really awesome.

No!

I love his work -- well, the little that I've read.

Oy.

I was actually tempted to do a piece by him for speech, but his style of humor, like mine, is really subtle, and if I would've done Kurt, I would've done worse than I did with Thurber.

Either way, he's a damn good writer, and he will definitely be missed.
