He will be missed, but his music is so timeless that it will live on.

At the young age of 47, John Dye is dead from a heart attack. I always enjoyed his performance in the show Touched by an Angel.

Agreed. He played a great role.

Another as well: David Nelson from "Ozzie and Harriet".

Jack was so old I think I saw one of his juice machines on American Pickers.

He was one of those people that were so healthy it was predicted he would die of nothing. Seems to be true.

I saw him in an inteview just recently. Vibrant to the end.

Franc, you don't look 2/3 his age, just saying. I certainly hope I don't look 2/3 his age.

Funny stuff Franc.

I guess all that fitness payed off for Jack, 96 years. That is a full life.

I got to watch Jack many times growing up in Cali ... from his fitness shows ... to the time he challenged Merv Griffin to see how long they could hold a note ... Jack beat him by a good 6 seconds.

He kept a full life and built all his muscle on a much more restricted diet that our current body builders. No steroids. no midlife crises, no parade of younger spouses. That's what us Irish types would call a real "mensch"

A little late but I've been on the road...

If you were alive in the 1970s, you would recognize these two comics. Their deaths were both reported Saturday in Las Vegas.

David Frye, 77, impressionist. He "was" Nixon the same way Jamie Foxx "was" Ray Charles.

Charlie Callas, 83, Army band drummer turned comedian. He had a rubbery mug and often put sound effects into his jokes and story telling. He was probably best known for his roles in "Switch", a detective dramedy with Robert Wagner and Eddie Albert.
