  1. God rest his soul. It’s sad to see someone live the last two years of his life having to work so he doesn’t have to lose his home.

  2. Yes, @6, there’s a joke you’re not getting: His multi-million-dollar house has been in danger of being foreclosed on for at least the last year or so. For a guy who made bazillions of dollars, it seems he spent his entire life dealing with the wolves at the door.

  3. The second-best talkshow sidekick ever (after the immortal Hank Kingsley, who was more than a little modeled after him) has gone. Once again I am saddened by the news obituary habit of using recent, decrepit pictures to commemorate him rather than the older ones showing the vibrant man we remember.

  4. Bummer. I remember when he sent me $250 when I was 12, which I deposited in a tiny credit union in Kaslo, BC.

    It was a lot of money for me at the time.

    (yes, I know, it wasn’t him personally, but when you’re 12 that’s how it feels)
