I just read of John Tillers passing on april 26th

[krmiller]

He will definitely be missed.

I had the pleasure of meeting him and sitting in on several of the round table discussions he held at the three Tiller Cons.
The thing I remember the most was his willingness to listen to the people playing the games.
Not everything that was suggested got into the games but some of the things brought up at these eventually made their way into the games.  The fact that we're still seeing improvements to game systems he introduced 20 years ago tells you the kind of support he gave to his games.
