Him and Lucas were the old guard who had to do everything with models and minatures until CGI came in full force. Definitely a pro at his profession, he adapted to the new techniques quite well. H just worked on IronMan also even he had been suffering from multiple myeloma for the last 7 years.

Wow... sad... Yes, to what he specialized in, he was every bit the name Rick Baker is to makeup and creature effects. A real leader in his field...

Wow, Stan's gone. He was a fixture. Lots of standard-setting works from that guy and his studio.
