Still, we can't change the laws of physics!

He lived long, and he prospered.

Believe it or not, we've constantly lost a number of Star Trek legends throughout the years!

^Awww that is a real shame, used to read his books a lot. Not been well for a while though, still doesn't prepare you.

 

[nealbie]

I'm happy for him. I truly am.

He was getting increasingly frustrated in recent months and I wonder if he genuinely lost the will to live.

Thankfully his daughter knows enough to carry on his legacy.

I was only listening to my radio production of Mort this morning on the way to Suffolk actually.

While I initially couldn't see the appeal (I thought he was a second rate Douglas Adams), I changed my mind as I read more and more of his work and saw the way he developed his writing. I think I've read all but about 5 of his books now.

It's sad for us, but definitely better for him.

I removed the post.

Sorry if I offended anyone. I didn't get a chance to pull of any April Fool's jokes.

 

[Ben]

^You know you posted that too late, right?

 

[Chris Coasters]

It says he posted it on April Fools Day.

 

[Smithy]

It's meant to be after midday.

It's also not really funny to joke about someone dying.

 

[Ben]

^Before midday, but, yeah.

 

[Smithy]

Ooooops, clustered between them not being valid after midday or meant to be before.

Back on topic - Geoffrey Lewis died of natural causes at 79.
Although his daughter Juliette is more famous, he was a great character actor in a lot of Clint Eastwood movies (High Plains Drifter, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, Every Which Way But Loose, Any Which Way You Can, Bronco Billy, Pink Cadillac & Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil) as well as hundreds of TV shows. He was currently filming High and Outside, a baseball movie scheduled for a 2016 release.
