Passing

James Oliver Rigney, Jr., the world will miss you...treasure you, and your legacy. Your heroism during two tours of Vietnam is noted, and not some farce made up like that idiot John Kerry. You were and are a real hero to millions of fans. Your ladder of daggers has been climbed and hope sprang eternal for everyone until the end. Speed well on your journey in the afterlife.



Robert Jordan, aka J.O. Rigney, Jr., age 58, passed away yesterday. His soon to be out 12th Wheel book, the last of the series, is close to being finished and will be published. Prayers for the family and millions of fans. Personal note to Verdana; the Wheel books will be read.

"That mountain can grow awfully heavy sometimes," Rand sighed, taking a spear and buckler from Rhuarc. "When do you find a chance to put it down awhile?"

"When you die," Lan said simply.
~Jordan, The Shadow Rising
