I was absolutely giddy when five ran into him in the last episode I watched, I hadn't thought they ever met! ^^

Part of me hoped he'd be able to meet all the Doctors before... He will definitely be deeply missed. RIP Nicholas Courtney

Short video obituary, also here's Tom Baker's tribute.

God be with you, Mr. Courtney, and may He comfort all those left behind.

The world of Doctor Who, and indeed the world, seems a darker, less awesome place right now.

He was one of the handful of Who actors I've seen in person -- at the 'Invasion 2010' convention, as recently as last May, when (to the best of my recollection) he took a full part in proceedings. He'll be sorely missed :'(

I find it difficult to accept, even now, that he's really gone. Not only was he like the human backbone of the Whoniverse, but he seemed an all round lovely chap to boot. I ... don't really know what else to type.
