The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association reports that Jerry Pournelle died on September 8 at age 84. The article didn't list the cause of death.
He was the first winner of the "Best New Writer" category of the Campbell award, and was a former president of the SFWA, a writer's guild.
I thought his best stuff was his Niven collaborations, like A Mote in God's Eye. What was your favorite?

It's not reality that's important, but how you perceive things.

Similar here, read him in Byte every month for a few years, one of his favorite lines was (iirc), "At least one processor per person". Tried some of his SF, but wasn't impressed enough to really become a fan.
