Survey says...The Passing of Richard Dawson

[knight_shadow]

RIP

I just saw his children on Access Hollywood (I believe?) and they were saying that he was diagnosed only ~3 weeks ago, so they were happy that he didn't have to ensure 6-18 months of pain.

I know I'm gonna come off as pretty insensitive, but I thought that he had already died years ago.

The "they've already died years ago" feeling hits me about celebs sometimes, too (including Mr. Dawson).

Anyone else recall when Benny Hill 'died' in mid-1980's, only to be shown LIVE IN PERSON onscreen when they announced his show/name as a nominee during a live, televised award show? EVERYONE in my family who was watching simultaneously said aloud, "I thought Benny Hill was dead!" Within ten years of that award show he 'died' (again).
