He was always wonderful in his parts and from everything I read, a real gentleman. He'll be missed.

Awww, another piece of my childhood gone. He scared me as Jaws, but I love that they have him redemption and a love interest in the end. I still think of the aerial tramway scene whenever I go to Palm Sorings.

Just like André the Giant he was as gentle as he was strong. R.I.P.

I met him briefly at DFW airport back in 2005 or '06. He was in a wheelchair. Super nice guy. RIP
