I don't really know Wilum. I might have met him at a few conventions or not, but I do enjoy watching his YouYube videos. I've always enjoyed his thoughts on the horror world and community, his stories and experiences.
I got an e-mail today by Will Hart with some sad news about Wilum. This is what he had to say:
"The Greatest Living Lovecraftian Author - Wilum Hopfrog Pugmire - Has Been Hospitalized with Heart Disease in Seattle!
I just got word today, that 60-year-old Wilum has been admitted to a Seattle area Hospital due to the worsening condition of his heart disease.
It looks like his heart may be in worse shape than anyone imagined; so there is no way to tell how much time he still has left to share with us.
I spoke with him a few minutes ago by phone, and he said I could reveal that he is in the hospital; but he's not sure when (or if) he's going home from there.
He has no computer access in the hospital, but I hope everyone will keep him in their thoughts, prayers, emails, and blogs; and that we will all be aware of just how special a person he is, and how much he has brought to each of our lives.
Will Hart"
My thoughts and well-wishes are with Wilum and his loved ones. I hope you get better soon, Wilum. In honor of him, I've uploaded a favorite of his YouTube videos of mine below.
Thanks, Jason. I think I am beginning to improve, but it will be slow-going. Did massive damage to heart and some damage to kidneys. I am going to concentrate on getting better before I try to return to writing, and it may take a long time. But I can still do more video blogs and continue to terrorize society! Bwah ha ha!
ReplyDeleteThat's great news, Wilum! Continue to get better!
