Not sure what to say?

Though Mr. Weston is now gone, I can remember the famous toy line he has created: the G.I. Joe action figure line he made for Hasbro. I also remember him as the man behind Leisure Concepts (who would later be renamed 4Kids Entertainment and would produce cartoons like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Viva Pinata, before going bankrupt in 2012). As a licensor, a creator, Mr. Weston was such a marvelous toy/animation mastermind. I give my full condolences to his family and all his relatives....

May the God of all comfort be with family and loved ones.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

My condolences to the Weston family. May you cherish the memories of your loved one and may you look forward to the day when you can be reunited with your resurrected loved one.

To Barbara, Dean, Robin, and Susie: I am so sorry for your loss. I remember 'Stan as an incredibly nice man. Hope you are all well and thriving.

I met Stan on a vacation in St. Martin about 35 years ago. I was the son of a friend of his. I remember how kind he was and though I only spoke to him a few times after the vacation, I will always remember his friendliness and discussions we had about the future. He was special.

My deepest condelences to the Weston family.
