Harry Stubbs, better known to science fiction readers as Hal Clement, passed away in his sleep last night.

I met Hal for the first time at the Golden Duck award ceremony Conucopia, the 1999 NASFiC, Anaheim . The Hal Clement (Young Adult Award) is named after Hal Clement, the pen name of Harry Stubbs, who is a well known science fiction writer and science teacher. http://goldenduck.org/ The award is for science fiction books of grades 6-12 that have a young adult protagonist. The science should be as correct as possible, but still a good story.
A quiet unassuming man.
