I can hardly believe it...
He was such a dynamo.
My mom used to watch him, and exercise with him while she watched his show...
He sure did have great innings...
Safe passage, Jack!

I remember his TV show from the 60's, and would occasionally see him in a cameo or birthday stunt and think, wow he's still alive, quickly followed by wow, he looks good for 70-80-whatever.

He was by far the most overwhelmingly positive influence I've ever seen on the television screen.
Great guy.
Later, Jack. :hi:
