Sad to hear it. He was my first autograph at DragonCon.

This is a shame. My then girlfriend and I sat next to him at the 2006 guest awards banquet and although he was a little stiff at first, he was very friendly and talkative with us as the evening went on. I remember when the "music" for the event was going on, everyone was a bit annoyed by it but we just kept right on eating. Noticing this he looked over to me and and quppied, "Thid is bloody awful music." I wish Mr. Prowse the best recovery.

according to the article, he seems to be finishing his treatment. also, he's still listed as a guest for collectormania, a convention in the uk next month - http://www.collectormaniamidlands.com/
