Ray Bradbury has died at the age of 91. I believe he was the last great of the Golden Age of Science fiction that produced Isaac Asimov, Lester DelRey, Robert Heinlein, Arthur C. Clarke, Joe W. Campbell and others of note. I read his short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” when I was in junior high school and the story has haunted me ever since.
RIP

He was one of my husband's great inspirations, also beginning in jr. high. Perhaps you will enjoy his reflections upon his passing: http://ticklemebrahms.blogspot.com/2012/06/live-forever.html
