Oh man... I've seen him around, but never got a chance to meet him.

Ugh. Never occured to me that door would close.

That really, really sucks. He's truly among the immortal greats of Hollywood effects artists.

A sad certainty of life.

As was very well said by Quint, we can only hope and trust that Stan Winston Studios continues to do him proud in all that they undertake.

This time you see- like holy water, it only burns you faster than you'll ever dry.
