Is that the same "To Serve Man" that was shown on the Original Twlight Zone?
Yes, he wrote that story. He also wrote many of the great SF works of the 50's and 60's. He also founded the SFWA, which is the closest thing that SF writers have to a "union"... it acts to protect the rights and priviliges of SF writers everywhere. For both of these reasons, he was one of the most important figures in SF.
He will be missed.
RIP.

A great light, has gone out.
Thought that was worded and sounded approprate.
