I LOVE his work, and I'm very sorry to learn he has passed.
Every Halloween, I watch his "Claymation Comedy of Horrors" - a 1991 special that should be on TV every year!
Some of my other favorites:
1992 Claymation Easter
1990 Raisins Sold Out: The California Raisins II
1988 Meet the Raisins!
1987 A Claymation Christmas Celebration
1985 The Adventures of Mark Twain
Also, there are other films he made that I also enjoyed greatly! Some of them were shorter than the above ones, often with poignant messages by the writers.
The one with the most powerful message is this one:

It's called Mountain Music, it's under 10 minutes, and it was written by Will Vinton himself.
RIP Mr. Vinton, and thank you.
A major talent! R.I.P.
The one that started it all. The AA winning CLOSED MONDAYS.
