His web site has the story. Had a stroke two weeks ago and never woke up.

'Tis a sad thing. Hopefully his successors can keep up his ideals.

I could not get so crazy and depressed that I didn't trust Jim Baen to stand by me if I needed him. I don't know a better statement than that to sum up what was important about Jim, as a man and as a friend.

Alas. I'll always remember him, because, long ago now, in the letter column September 1976 issue of Galaxy, he made me a published writer.
