Well statistically, there's usually a spike around this time of year. Weaker immune systems, weather etc. all takes it's toll on the more senior folk out there.

I loved Anderson's productions. Thunderbirds is one of the reasons I got into building scale models - which even today is an odd thing for a girl to get into.

A great loss. He was clearly a major inspiration for the Team America.

Yes, it is sad but we will always have memories of his wonderful creations and that sounds like a pretty good legacy to me.
