I'm sad to report that Budd Hopkins passed away Sunday from complications due to cancer and pneumonia. Here's the notice that Leslie Kean sent out:
Budd Hopkins
June 15, 1931 - August 21, 2011
I’m very sad to announce that Budd Hopkins died today, August 21, at 1:35 pm. Budd had been under hospice care for about three weeks, at his home in New York. The combination of liver cancer and pneumonia led to his death. His daughter Grace Hopkins-Lisle and I were with him almost continuously during these past weeks. He was not in any pain throughout any of the process, and he received the best possible care and loving support from those closest to him. Today he gradually slipped away, and simply quietly stopped breathing. He died peacefully and without any struggle, with Grace, Grace’s husband Andrew, and me by his side.
Thanks to all of you for being such strong supporters of this extraordinary man, who has contributed so much to our lives, in so many different ways.

Budd was one of the pioneers of ufology and a tireless researcher. His contributions to the study of the abduction phenomenon opened the door for other researchers to follow. He will be missed.
