Kripke talks about Kim's passing...

More context at the post above. But from Kripke:
"Everyone at 'Supernatural' is walking around in a daze, shocked and absolutely devastated. Kim was a brilliant director; more than that, he was a mentor and friend. He was one of the patriarchs of the family, and we miss him desperately. He gave so much to 'Supernatural,' and everything we do on the show, now and forever, is in memory of him."
ETA: An additional statement from a writer/producer of X-Files: (an excerpt) "Kim had a blazing intensity that inspired everyone -- writers, producers, actors and crew. "Kick it in the ass!" he'd say to us. And "I love you," really meaning it."
You all remember the S2 gagreel where during the filming of Heart Jared kept saying to Kim "I love you." "I love you, Kim." I wonder now if that was in semi-joking response to what Frank says in the quote above was Kim's habit of saying "I love you" to cast/crew of his shows (and meaning it.)
