Oh my! How sad and shocking, considering the info we received before was that he was doing well.
Thank you for the news, Ga.

Posted: 12/29/04 at 10:01amThis is VERY sad. Why are all these great actors dying all of a sudden? Man, that is depressing.

Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh
so mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender and callow fellow.
Try to remember and if you remember
then follow
follow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
When noone wept except the willow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
When dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
When love was an ember about to billow.
Try to remember and if you remember
then follow
follow.
Deep in December it's nice to remember
Although you know the snow will follow.
Deep in December it's nice to remember
Without a hurt the heart will hollow.
Deep in December
it's nice to remember
The fire of September that made you mellow.
Deep in December our hearts should remember and follow
follow.

I enjoyed seeing him on stage and on screen. A loss.
Rest in Peace!

Very sad news. A very nice man too.
At the BROADWAY SHOWSTOPPERS concert, Marc & I remarked both on how great he looked and SOUNDED that night.

I'm in shock. This is such a shame. He's such a wonderful actor.
He'll definitely be missed. I'll light a candle for him tonight!
It's worth a shot/ :)
