I just saw this on a news site. Pretty sad, but at least this guy lived to a ripe old age and achieved greatness in his lifetime that few can match. Even in this age of CGI animation, his work is still outstanding.

RIP. Although yes, 92 is a good long life. A lot of people don't live until that age.
