I admired his work for years before I knew of him. RIP Mr. Kraft. You were an inspiration. |

Very sorry to hear this; JL and I had lunch with Vic about a year ago. A very nice man and quite an accomplished artist -- his specialty was birds and his home was filled with his beautiful works. |

He really captured the crew's likenesses in that caricature. |
