Terrible.

Sad.

But I don't care how much someone offers me now. My Aurora Creature kit still isn't for sale.

Sad, but hey, 93 ain't bad! R.I.P. GillMan

A good, long life. Met him in 2008 and he was very nice. RIP Ricou

'Sorry to see him go. I never missed an episode of "Sea Hunt", "Flipper", or probably any other show
he worked on back then. Anchors aweigh, Mr Browning. I'm sure you'll make that final ascent in record time.

This is truly devastating news! For the past year I have been reaching out to the Mayor of Fort Pierce, FL (Ricou's birthplace) to honor their native son. There has been no response, and, sadly, it is now too late. RIP.

The man's not even cold and eBay is flooded with autographed stuff!

They have been sitting on this stuff just waiting. Sick. I hope they get stuck with them.

I wish I could have met him, but I am glad he spent his last few years getting mail from fans.

He inspired much of what I've done diving over the years. I'm glad I had a chance to meet him a couple of times.
RIP

I was very happy that I got to write him a letter last year as well as a get well soon card and (separately) purchase his personalized autograph. All of the Universal films means a lot to me but the Creature is the most special, for the bond I had with my Dad over it.

I hope his family and friends are doing as well as can be expected during this time.

They're all nothing but vultures.
