Heimlich...

I was exchanging emails with a friend last week when she mentioned that a friend of her husband's had died suddenly in a car crash, and he was having a tough time dealing with the news. It wasn't until I opened this week's issue of "Entertainment Weekly" that I realized the friend she was talking about was Joe Ranft, a story artist at Pixar. He also provided voices for some of the films, my favorite being Heimlich from "A Bug's Life." I never met him, but from what I've heard from people who worked with him, he was a hell of a guy, and I'm sure he will be greatly missed...
