OT: RIP, Jerry Lewis

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Although he had been battling health problems for a while, saddened to hear of his passing this morning. A true comedy icon and the champion for the muscular dystrophy cause. He brought laughs to millions and hope to many more, and although his style may have not been for everyone, he will be missed......prayers to his family, RIP, King of Comedy......the original "Nutty Professor."

Too many classic actors/entertainers passing these days......that or I'm getting older. Both I suppose......still stinks though. I truly don't know who I even value in Hollywood anymore......hmmm. Thank God for reruns.

Remember always watching his telethon and then starting school the next day in the 70's. Great childhood memories.
