I had commented to my wife two years ago while in a bookstore that I hope he finished the series before he died.
That entry was lifted right from Jordan's blog on Dragonmount.
Sad to see him go. I met him and have one of my hard covers signed by him. I remember that day - a friend and I drove over to Dayton for a signing. I believe it was A Crown of Swords that was out, but I took Lord of Chaos. He looked puzzled when I presented that one to be signed, and I told him that it was my favorite in the series thus far.
