I just jokingly remarked to my wife a few days ago that I'd might be apprehensive to actually meet Bill Paxton, as his career has mostly been about disasters or other bad things about to happen (i.e. Tombstone, Aliens, Terminator, Titanic, Twister, Apollo 13, etc).
I just read on msn.com that he died from complications during surgery. I would gladly breath a sigh of relief and not get angry if someone were to tell me this was just a sick joke.
This news just devastates me as I always knew whenever a movie came on TV that I hadn't seen before and Bill Paxton was one of the stars, that this would be a film well worth watching. Also it was clear to me from "day 1" that he had a fine personal life and great personal character - a truly great human being.
So Sad, so very, very sad.

Sad but true, sad but true, no hoax. He was a fine character actor and it was fun watching him. He will be missed.
