I'm very saddened to hear that Stephen Howell of Hollow Sun passed away this morning.
I'll be firing up those libs today in remembrance & appreciation of his creativity & inspiring work.

What terrable news. Not only was he a great talent who made great products, he had a real sense of humour too.
 
I had a few breif email / PM conversations with him. He will be sadly missed.
 
 

That is really sad news, I have several of his libraries and really like them.
 
I have also enjoyed his feedback on several forums.

Sad, indeed. I always got the impression that his main motivation wasn't making a buck but rather just sharing cool sounds with others. It's a disappearing aesthetic.

I purchased many of his libraries and enjoyed his newsletters very much. He also collaborated with Hideaway Studio, another innovative Kontakt library developer.

One of the most inspirational and coolest cats out there. Major bummer.

Sad news indeed.

Great guy. Great attitude. Terrible loss.

His libraries still find their way in to my compositions. Soar On Wings, my friend!

Huge loss... for his family and friends, and for his customers and future customers.
 
I have several of his libraries, and love them all.
 
And I have enjoyed his newsletters and a few opportunities to talk with him via telephone, email, and forums. He always impressed me with his enthusiasm and passion. And his good nature.
 
He will be missed... Rest in Peace!
