me the news this morning; it is very sad.

 

The strange thing was that we saw him being interviewed on TV just a couple of weeks ago, and he was very upbeat and positive. I guess he decided he was going to work until the very end.

 

He will definitely be missed.

My father died of colon cancer. We personally know two others who died of colon cancer. All were under 60 years old.

 

In most cases--not all, of course, but most--colon cancer can be found early enough to be treated successfully. I go in for a colonoscopy on a regular basis (every 5 years is what is recommended here). Folks who have health insurance should take advantage of that fact and get it done. I'm not sure what to do now that I am not insured (long story), but I will find a way to get it done.

Thank you for sharing that, it was beautiful.

I am so sad about this. I liked him, appreciated his sense of humor and realness. I hadn't realized that his children were so young, and so that takes it to a whole different level. It's just very sad news.

Oh no! I am SO sad to hear this!!! :crying:

 

I greatly admired Tony. He was always respectful in all his dealings with people. I will never forget the day he read a letter to his wife over the radio. It was so beautiful. My heart goes out to his family. What a tremendous loss.

Dawn, thanks for this link. I really enjoyed reading that article. I found another good one linked on the same page. It was written by Cal Thomas just over a year ago.

I am so sad!! He was so good, and I love reading all the tributes saying what a great, genuine man he was. People like him, and Tim Russert, are truly inspiring. I wondered, when they said it had spread to his liver, if he would be gone soon. That is such a bad sign. How very sad.
