2. I don't know - did he work for them, and dedicate most of his time being there from

sun up, past sun down... All the while taking time out to care for their concerns and problems over his own?

ETA: Can we at least give the Russert issue a week before dancing on his grave?

3. Doubt it, then again he wasn't one of

their friends and colleagues and they aren't running Dock Blocks like they usually do on weekends on MSNBC.

6. That's so sad...

I actually met Stan on a street in San Rafael, CA years ago. He was with friends, but when 3 fan boys approached him (me included) he talked to us for several minutes...

Several of my frineds have worked closely with him. He was a brilliant artist...

Godspeed, Stan...

RIP
