well, it depends on the person. Arthur C. Clarke was a giant in one of my favorite fields. Hence, sadness and respect.
Bobby Fischer was a crazy chess genius. More like a notable event than sadness.
Lloyd Alexander wrote books that greatly influenced my childhood and had a style of writing that's like sitting down and listening to your kindly older uncle talk to you or something. I bawled when I found out he had passed away.
