Haggridd

[Amy Z]

I am sorry to bear the bad news that John Kusalavage, MD, known to this list as Haggridd, 
died on January 22.  His cousin passed the news along to Constance Vigilance, knowing 
that his HP friends were important to him.

John and I were good friends, and I must have spoken to him just a few days before he 
died.  I knew he had health problems but had no idea there was anything life-threatening.  
I miss him.  The HP fandom will miss his filks.  He was eagerly awaiting HBP and the new 
Discworld book, in which a vampire was at last going to join the City Watch (Otto Chriek 
was his favorite character).  It's so sad he didn't live to see them, nor to go to Accio, for 
which he was one of the first people to register.

His memorial service is this Sunday, and I will be sending flowers.  If anyone else would 
like to sign onto them, please e-mail me offlist.
