I just read on "The Tolkienist" that Christopher Tolkien died last night at the age of 95! He was the third child and youngest son of JRRT and Edith T. It looks like the news is just out now, so expect more info as the day/week goes on.
Tolkien Gateway has an interesting short bio of his fascinating life. He contributed so much to the Middle-earth legend, being appointed literary executor after his father's death, and was the Director of the Tolkien Estate for years. Quite the steward! He was known for being fiercely protective of his father's magnificent works.
I am so grateful for his major contributions to the ongoing Middle-earth legacy.
