Yeah, I saw this online a day or two ago ... sad news. :(

But it was really heart-warming to see them in a video (I think from a Pittsburgh newspaper's website) talk about all the letters they'd been receiving from fans. Good to know that he went out loved.

Can't say I was too familiar with him, other than being Lori Cardille's dad. But he seems to be been quite the TV personality in Pittsburgh.

I've been looking at some of the opening intros to 'Chiller Theater'. Some of that stuff is as creaky as hell. Gas stuff.
