Very sad to hear about Tracy Tormé's passing, I was a big fan.

He created the TV show Sliders - a fantastic series with an ahead-of-its-time premise. It got two great seasons before unfortunately being ruined by network meddling.

He was also writer of the Star Trek TNG episode "The Big Goodbye" the very first episode set almost entirely on the holodeck - inspiring many other "holodeck episodes" across the series.
