A tragedy of course. A great television icon lost to us once again. I've posted a news article related to this on the main page.

Every life is precious.  If you don't care, why did you even bother posting?

Snader, its odd that you cared enough to post something even if it was just crap.

Anyway yeah, this guy was a highly recognisable TV star of the last 40 years and always came across as a decent guy.

Here's a lil history of him which includes his time in world war II

if every life is precious, you better start posting some more topics because people keep dying..

One death is a tragedy, thousands of deaths is a statistic. Or something.

 

I don't know who that is.

I knew it was by Stalin but I wasn't sure how to spell it so instead of looking stupid I didn't put it was by him.  My dog died in january this year.
