We just lost another great performer.  Actor Bill Paxton just recently passed away.  I have fond memories of Paxton as the cowardly but ultimately heroic Private Hudson in “Aliens”.  There were also noteworthy acting turns in the science fiction and horror genre films  “Predator 2” and “Near Dark”.  He had another great role as a treasure hunter in “Trespass”. I have heard many good stories of Paxton, the man.  He was described as being a very friendly, warm human being.  Our sympathies go out to his loved ones.
