Andy Rooney Dead

Are there any Andy Rooney fans here? The poor guy quit work and then suddenly dies. I always looked forward to his little monologue every week.

When I watched television, I enjoyed his bits on 60 Minutes. I watched an online video of his final commentary. I had the feeling that he was calling it quits because he knew he body was doing the same thing. RIP Mr. Rooney.

Regards,

Have not watched 60 minutes in years, but I did enjoy his work. RIP Andy.
