When I was writing my reply I wondered how he would view some of the more recent developments such as the fantasy series.  Unfavourably, I felt, after all, to a child a knight doesn't need wings to be able to fly.

May he rest in peace 0) and live forever in his little plastic people  :) He was able to create such a simple joyful item which spread so much happiness to children and adults alike . Not many get this opportunity and hopefully Playmobil will never forget his vision 

Well put Rasputin, not many people are able to make such a positive impact in the world during their lifetime.

Sad news. We're lost a few popular people of late, Bill Frindall the BBC Test Match Special Scorer (cricket) last week is one I will miss.

79 still seems young, in this day and age.

I am saddened.
A great visionary in a child's play has gone forever. He has had a great influence on my early childhood, though he never knew me and I never met him. I was one of the many, many children that loved to play with the plastic figures and was drawn into play with them. In that way, every child he saw playing with it was somehow a bit me. And in every new voyage of make-believe I made with my favourite figures, I discovered a part of him. So we did meet. Somewhere in my playing world.

For that I am gratefull.

Now, I see my children picking up old and new klickies and sailing away into their dreams and fantasy. From time to time I catch a glimp of them and sometimes I can fly with them.

For that I am gratefull too.

Thank you, Mr. Beck, thank you for all of that.

Mark & Bogro

I do hope that he wasn't in pain and that he had the chance to say goodbye to his loved ones before he died.

Ouch, Sylvia.

The only upside of having a serious illness is that you usually have plenty of time to say goodbye...

Here's to life!

But seriously the memoriams posted here are all pretty sweet.  Maybe PM courtesy of Mr. Beck has driven me to invest myself in medieval studies far too seriously...

What was the medieval expression?

Pushing up daisies... wormfood...
