I can't think of anyone else that had more influence on me back then.Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08408150910056369989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528812496347938474.post-23443631353148995202016-08-10T08:55:11.216-07:002016-08-10T08:55:11.216-07:00Damn. right in the feels with this one.Damn. right in the feels with this one.Timothy S.

As my wife put it, "it's not like you're going to get another chance to meet Stan Lee."<br /><br />When a celebrity dies, I typically don't mourn. I feel sad for them and their families, but the list of non-personal friends and family members I would mourn is pretty short. I cried when Leonard Nimoy died (because Mr. Spock was an inspiration and lifeline during some rocky teenage years), and I imagine I will cry more when Stan Lee passes.<br /><br />He ain't perfect, but legends seldom are. His influence and innovation changed an industry, and warped a lot of childhoods in wonderful, fantastic ways.<br /><br />Don't go soon, Mr. Lee. But when you do, please know we are grateful for your contribution to the world, and you will be missed.Monchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132341373842481242noreply@blogger.com
