Morbid humor -- but when I forwarded the article on over to my brother, he responded with one line:


He's dead Jim.

I seem to remember a story where he recently (past few years) had a child, which was kinda a big deal cause he was already in or near his 80's.

Yeah, the obit said he had a child at age 80.

Which also means that his current wifre must have been at least 40 years younger than him.


Ah, the wonders of viagra.

Among the comments today was one that said he was, for a time, a little bitter about being type-cast after his three years on the original series. Finally, someone told him to quit complaining and consider himself lucky to have had the opportunity to play a character that was still known globally for a series that only lasted three years back in the 60s. He said once he accepted that, he went with the flow and had a very happy life...

Not a bad epitaph.
