Count me as one of his many fans. I may not have read everything he wrote, but I read at least half of his novels, maybe more.
My favorite quote, which appears at the beginning of one of his books goes something like this:
Every day our planet hurtles 300,000 miles closer to Globular Cluster M113 in the constellation of Hercules. And still some folks say there is no such thing as progress.

Dang. I don't know that I've read everything, but pretty darn close for sure. RIP.
And so on.

I've only read "Breakfast of Champions" from him -- I never went further b/c that was honestly the most depressing book I'd ever read in my life. If any of you can point me in a less nihilistic direction for him, I'll follow.
RIP, in any case.
