    On Thursday 12/04/08 the world lost Uncle Forry after a long struggle with declining health. He was 92.He discovered the teenaged Ray Bradbury and helped start his career, coined the phrase Sci-Fi, was Isaac Asimov's literary agent and was the founder of Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine.He was also a lifelong friend of the horror community and his passing is truly the end of an era. One of the great ones.RIP 4E.

    Such a nice and giving man. He had a hand in just about everything you love Horror and Sci-fi . I met him at the Motion picture FX Halloween Party Russ aka MR BARLOW introduced me to him. Rest in Peace 4EJustin
