"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

"He was the gentlest of giants. A big man with an even bigger heart who never failed to make me smile & a loyal friend who I loved dearly. I'm grateful for the memories we shared & I'm a better man for just having known him. Thanks Pete," Hamill tweeted Thursday.

I saw a couple of informal interviews with him, plus his participation in several documentaries and Behind The Scenes shows. Seemed to be a fine fellow. I didn't realize he had moved to the States. Texas, even.

RIP, big guy.
