Erich Loest RIIP: Rich Loess Reminder

The Deaths in 2013 site lists under September  12th:
Erich Loest, 87, German author, suicide by self-defenestration.
His last name reminds me of another type of loose sand/dust called "Loess", one such form of loess being the dust residual left behind by glaciers.   Note this excerpt from the Loess wiki page:
 Loess comes from the German Löss or Löß, and ultimately from Alemannic lösch meaning loose as named by peasants and masons along the Rhine Valley.
Audd that "mason's" should crop up again, hence a new addition to the recent "Freemason/Mason/Building Material/Brick/Brownstone" pattern-cluster.  This is nott the first time loess has cropped up in posts: http://pronoiasecrets.blogspot.ca/search?q=loess
