Wow I was just uploading some of his stuff when I heard. I just lost my aunt today also..whoa.. well anyway - What a contributor to the Horror/sci-fi genres. Not only did he contribute in writing but he was at heart a fellow fanboy way ahead of the curve.Mr.Forry j Ackerman, who influenced a generation of young horror movie fans with Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine and spent a lifetime amassing what has been called the world's largest personal collection of science fiction and fantasy memorabilia, has died. He was 92. He coined the term 'sci-fi'. You may also recognize him from some DVD commentaries and extra features as a 'expert'.

That's one guy I wish I had the pleasure of meeting. A true loss of a great man. Sad
