Very sad. Although, I honestly prefered him as Richard Stark.

I once read an article where Donald Westlake interviewed Richard Stark. It was hilarious.

I felt the same way when Ross Thomas died. Holy cow, he wrote terrific caper novels.

I tried Googling it and couldn't find it. I'll do some more digging, and if I find it, I'll post the link.

This one is fun:

DO THE MATH: The Da Vinci Parody (http://thebadplus.typepad.com/dothemath/2006/05/the_da_vinci_pa.html - broken link)

A Westlake fan rewrote the opening pages of The DaVinci Code in the style of Richard Stark. So much better that way.
