After Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Steve Ditko, he's probably the biggest name in making Marvel what it was and is. Very few of the old guard left now, although their legacies and hard work have made a lot of people very wealthy...

They entertained millions of us. Hopefully they won't be forgotten.

And I'd like to think they gave us good reason to ponder the universe and feel confident in reaching for the stars.
