I met him once, at a con in 1992, and he was the nicest guy ever.
There was currently no line, so I walked right up to get my new Spider-Man comic signed, and I couldn't get a word out. Completely tongue-tied.
Stan didn't bat an eye, asked for my name and made small chit-chat to ease my nerves and ended it with a big Excelsior!
My only regret is that I didn't get a photo with him.

It's sad to think Marvel doesn't really have a pitch man on the same level as Stan nowadays.
Dan Slott I think would qualify if he wasn't such a douche.

What an amazing, astonishing, incredible, uncanny, fantastic, spectacular impact that one man had on the human civilization.
I had the tremendous fortune to meet him at San Diego Comic Con 2002. He happened to be walking in the building's front doors just as I was, and my dad (who was never a big comic guy but knew who Stan was) pointed at him and whispered to me "That's Stan Lee!" I by sheer chance had his memoirs that I'd just finished reading in my backpack so I approached him and said "Hi Mr. Lee, my name is Chaz and I've looked up to you my whole life." He smiled at me and said "As it should be!" I asked him if he'd sign my copy of his book and he did and we got a picture together. He exuded every bit of heroic warmth as he did in his media appearances. I miss him and his cameos.
The day he died I was scheduled to interview the rapper Tech N9ne. The interview happened and, with it being the news that it was, at the end of it I had to bring up Stan Lee and we shared a moment on air discussing his impact on the world:

This reminds me of when Leonard, Howard and Raj tried to get an autograph from Stan Lee. In the storyline, both Leonard and Howard got an autograph from Stan that said: “Stan Lee. EXCELSIOR.” While Raj just got “Stan Lee” (we are supposed to believe that Raj annoyed him by criticizing his character names (Millie The Model, Ding Dang Doom etc.)
While Sheldon and Penny got to see Stan Lee’s house (Stan Lee played himself.)
Sheldon: “You three may have got to have gelato with Stan Lee but I have a ticket to sit by his side at a court hearing in regards to him having a restraining order against me.”
Howard (sarcastically): “Sweet.”
