RIP, Stan.  Thank you for all that you did for those of us who dared to dream.

We all loved his work, but I can’t help but reflect on the fact that he was only two years older than my dad, who I lost two years ago. Stan, like my dad, served in the army in WWII. I wonder if it’s fitting to lose him on the day Veterans Day is observed? 

There are people we wish could live forever. But, as I observed for my father, his life wasn’t cut short. We got more time than we could hope for. 

There was a little card I got when my dad passed. It said, “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.”

I found some words. Maybe the most important words. The most endlessly-quoted words from a long and proud career full of words. A simple moral message wrapped up in a package of epic gravitas and carnival barker enthusiasm. Words which formed the spiritual and philosophical backbone of a company whose works have touched all of our lives. Words to live by.

What a legacy.

Well done, Stan Lee.  Thank you.

Stan Lee was a giant of a man. His legacy will live on in a way that very few others’ will. Siegel and Shuster. Homer. Aesop. People will read about Spider-Man long after all of us are gone.

I was dreading this day would come. What a truly great, great man. I wish I had met him, anyway. RIP, Stan the Man.

Not shocking, but painful news nonetheless. It makes me
doubly sad to think about the turmoil in his life that
had recently been reported. I can only hope that all
was finally well in his life and that he was truly happy
and comfortable in his final days. We never met, but
I'll miss you Stan.

Talk about taking the ball and running with it, and what a run it was!

My first american comicbook was a compilation of origine issues from the 60's including the origine of Iron Man and the origine of the Silver Surfer. Stan Lee's face was drawn on the cover of the book. I instantly fell in love with the Marvel universe and as far as I recall that wonderful universe of super-heroes have always been associated with the name of Stan Lee in my mind.
Thank you for all those years and beyond. RIP Stan Lee.
