He was a good actor.. but he was a GREAT humanitarian!! His accident and subsiquient foundation brought to the forefront and into the media spotlight for those who suffer from spinal cord injury. His support of stem cell research, not only for victims of his type of injury but for other complication of the nervous system like Parkinson's etc, has given new hope to those who suffer.
His role as Superman, in my opinion, didn't start until he was wheelchair bound.
and today he is running and jumping and leaping through those meadows on his way to his next life...
His presence will be missed in this one.
