Gah... I just can't properly convey how sad I am.
I will say this. Years ago, I went and saw this movie called Jurassic Park and was just absolutely blown away. That's what I wanted to do. I wanted to make movie special effects. I wanted to make things come to life. Got my degree but it never really went anywhere. There were many others more talented than me. I guess in the long run, it was more of a hobby than a life pursuit. But that's okay. You gave me a vision Stan and you blew my mind countless times with the beings you created. For that I am thankful.
RIP Stan. You will be sorely missed.

He was a great man and filled lots of us with inspiration and awe. He will be dearly missed. RIP Stan.
Between the postings from all of his peers on the AICN website, and the tribute video on the JoBlo website, I am nearly overcome with grief for a man I never even knew. It's rare when individuals can leave their mark on this world before they leave it in a way that's as profound as Stan's.

but at least andrews still healthy and hopefully one day i'll get to shaqke his hand and thank him personally

To me Stan Winston was the Lon Chaney of our time. The man of a thousand characters/creatures. Iv'e written and deleted four tribute letters about Mr. Winston. None have even come close to properly expressing the raw grief i have over a man i never knew in person. Likewise I never knew john lennon but i wept at his sudden passing too. Why?..because both men gave us something special. They offered us a glimpse at what could be instead of what is. A chance to "imagine" the possibilities. Thank you Stan sleep well.

Regarding the disease that took his life Multiple myeloma, its possible that what he did his whole life may have cause the disease.
What I've found in my research of the disease to understand what took Stan away from us.
" People in agricultural occupations, petroleum workers, workers in leather industries, and cosmetologists all seem to have a higher-than-average chance of developing multiple myeloma. Exposure to herbicides, insecticides, petroleum products, heavy metals, plastics, and various dusts including asbestos also appear to be risk factors for the disease..."
from http://www.multiplemyeloma.org/about_myeloma/
As some of you may know in casting Bio's we use a lot of resins that counts as Plastics, and petroleum products actually emit cancerous fumes while curing. No doubt that Stan have done a lot of this stuff involving exposure to all sorts of chemicals. After reading this I have invested in high quality respirators (3M) and work in well ventilated area with a exhaust fan constantly exchanging fresh air into my casting room. I urge everyone who's into casting and molding things (like me) to take extra precaution for their health and for the sake of their loved ones.
Peace N Luv.
