I say this with a heavy heart, My father passed away peacefully in his sleep. He is a legend in the art world and it would be my honor to follow in his footsteps. Please keep your thoughts and condolences here out of respect for my family.
He was the greatest man I ever met.

One of the giants.
Never did stop working either.

Among the greatest. After Ditko left he was the man behind Amazing Spider-man for many years, working on issues that ended up making history.

Damn. I'm currently re-reading the post-Gwen issues of ASM (the Clifton Shallot Vulture/debut of the Punisher/Ock and May wedding issues were my first exposure to Spider-Man as a child), too... What a legend, and what a legacy to leave behind!

Oh, that just hit me hard. John Romita Sr. also illustrated a decent Spider-Man vs. Green Goblin fight. That was my favorite, right next to the M.J. reveal.

Rest well, good Sir.
