May he be at peace. In this day and age of technology and science- a cure of "C" is so needed!
There is a cure. That's why it ticks me off to see so many falling left and right. I'm pretty furious about it.
May he rest in peace. Cancer has been exceptionally greedy this year.
I loved watching Grizzly Adams, I recall it was on Sunday nights, the whole family watched it together. Different times.
...seems as if the Reaper has exceeded his bag limit...Holy Crap!!!...he was one of my favorite actors when I was a kid of like 12....known for being the big lug bear whisperer, but he was an animal trainer, bike builder, body builder-etc., always liked him....hell, he even played in Easy Rider!.....and was in charge of the iconic bikes...spinal cancer, that's what it takes to bring a mountain to it's knees...
Very true. The grim reaper does seem to be making the rounds quite frequently the last few weeks....seems as if the Reaper has exceeded his bag limit...Holy Crap!!!...he was one of my favorite actors when I was a kid of like 12....known for being the big lug bear whisperer, but he was an animal trainer, bike builder, body builder-etc., always liked him....hell, he even played in Easy Rider!.....and was in charge of the iconic bikes...spinal cancer, that's what it takes to bring a mountain to it's knees...
I used to watch him on TV and then read, in one of my mom's enquirer type papers, that he did cocaine. I stopped watching thereafter. Looking back, I never knew I was such a judgmental goodie 2 shoes. Thankfully, with age, all the shades of grey diluted that black and white behaviour. R.I.P. Dan.
I loved this as a kid, too. Would always watch with my family. My dad had a big ol' bushy beard like that at the time too! Black, not blond but it was cool. RIP - I am sure Ben will be happy to see you. (the bear's name, in case you didn't know)
RIP.....dear God, they are dropping like flies. This is crazy.
Of course there is but the big drug companies and such do not want that...they want money. The same with the common cold, I think. Look at the big bucks made from all the cold products...that do no good.
This one was...I don't know if "hard" is the correct word, but caused me to pause longer than I thought I would have before hearing the bad news. Growing up there was not a lot of television shows on and then ones that I was allowed to watch. This was one of the few and so impacted me as a young child. I thank you for that Dan as I was raised primarily in a single mom environment and she had her hands full with me and work and making ends meet. Dan was there to give me some insight into values in a way that was engaging and stuck with me. That's what I remember about Dan and I wish him well and hope he is with Ben, the bear, and they are running around getting into trouble (and out of it of course) through the forests of eternity. Sorry to see you go, my old friend.
