Oh wow, I didn't know that. My respect for the man just shot up greatly, I loved Iron Man....wow that is so sad.

At least he left a great legacy for other propmakers to follow :)

A toast to a great man, I hope he lived a fulfilling life, one with much fun and enjoyment.

Its absolutely surreal to hear this come right out of the ether, Stan was a master of his craft and his passing is an incredibly tragic loss but he leaves behind a lasting legacy of work for future generations still to come, you dreamed big Stan and thank you for it. (y)

Whoah! I was greatly inspired by him. I actually had a job offer at his studio, but had to turn it down. Got a great autographed photo from him that still sits on my desk.

Terrible loss...

don't forget one of my all time favorites, Aliens.

and if it wasn't for him KNB effects would have never come into existance.
 
A VERY sad day indeed. First Tim Russert, now Stan Winston. Both great men and inspirations to many. Peace to their family and friends,

Wow I had no idea!! He was the man responsible for getting me hooked in the field of prop and model building. A man who has enthralled millions with his inspiration and on screen creations. He will be sadly missed by all.
R.I.P Stan.
 
A hero of mine, he'll be sadly missed.

Rest in peace Stan, and thank you so much for all you've done for the industry.
 
This really makes me sad

Along with Star Wars the Terminator films are one of the first movies I can remember watching:cry
