Found this but it isn't it. What I remember was just a fans poetic expression that incorporated a great many of his writing subjects/titles. It was nicely done.
Roger [Zelazny] was as kind and generous as any man I have ever known. He was the best kind of company. Often quiet, but always interesting. Sometimes it seemed that he had read every book ever printed. He knew something about everything and everything about some things, but he never used his knowledge to impress or intimidate. In an age where everyone is a specialist, Roger was the last Renaissance man, fascinated by the world and all thats in it, capable of talking about Doc Savage and Proust with equal expertise and enthusiasm.
George R. R. Martins elegy for Roger Zelazny, (1944?-1996).
Quoted in some book collecting Nebula prizewinners.

Zelazny's one of my favorites. I read a couple of his short stories a while back and mean to read more when I have time. Too bad he's dead...
