R.I.P. Donald Westlake

Man, it's not even fully 2009 yet, and already we've lost somebody?

Donald Westlake, AKA Richard Stark, died of a heart attack on New Year's Eve. I haven't read much of Westlake's output, but I've read most if not all of his work as Stark. The guy was 75, which is not a bad run, but still... a shame to lose him.
