It's like this year is just eating my soul.

He was the soundtrack to my soul during the 1980s.. Oh wait, I thought we were doing cliche music tributes...

RIP you grumpy looking glorious bastard.

This guy was a staple of my childhood sick days home from school. Couldn't watch daytime TV without Wilford pitching me home delivery of diabetes testing supplies. Bummer.

diabetes related?

I figured he was older than that even. He seemed like he was in his 70's back when he made Cocoon and that was 1985.

diabetes related?

Not sure, Article says kidney ailment.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

He was always among those few older looking celebrities that most people probably thought was already gone.

 

[Rural]

I first remember seeing him in "China Syndrome"

A great part and he did it well.

Not sure, Article says kidney ailment.

I'm going to take the optimist view that he conquered diabetes.

Yeah my grandmother passed away at 98 six years ago and I think of him as older than her.

Huh. I didn't even know he was still alive. Or was. Probably had something to do with his dia-beetus.

 

[Rural]

Kirk was 103.
