Same here, I always looked forward to American Top 40, even though I only liked maybe a third of the songs ever on it. He did have a great voice for radio.Quote:

This is really sad. I loved watching this guy play baseball, he was a hitting machine.Quote:

People who visit Death Valley in July are asking for a lot. That's like going to prison with a cork in your butt hole and singing "The Heat is On" in the shower on your first day.Quote:

That's the first thing I thought. Not only did that sound a lot like a good bye, it sounded a lot like he doesn't have much time left. I wasn't even aware he had cancer but that explains why the last few times I saw him on TV he didn't look very well. It's sad to see anyone go so early due to cancer.
Yep, the whole "Dying to cancer means beating it" pretty much gives it away :(Quote:

Crap, really liked James Garner :(
My mechanic uncle was *so* like him in looks, laid back humour and charm.
Never missed the Rockford Files, and then watched it more in syndication. James Garner was awesome! R.I.P.
RIP Thomas Berger, who wasn't as widely read as some of his contemporaries, but worthy to stand among any of them. I've had a soft spot for Little Big Man since reading it for school way back when. Like Lonesome Dove, Little Big Man is a great Western for people who don't normally read the genre; I suspect many people on this board would enjoy it.

89 to a stroke.
I've always been a big fan of Lauren Bacall, she was a fantastic actress.
When Charon came calling, I wonder if he put his lips together and blew.
