I was going to cite the “I can’t die” quip but I see AP has already used it. RIP. 96 is still quite an accomplishment although it should be noted that George Burns smoked cigars all his life and lived to be even older.
He was one of the good ones.
Elaine LaLanne....sounds like she and Mr. LaLanne were very happy together. RIP
Guess he finally ran out of juice. RIP
I really think genetics has more to do with how long you will live than any other factor. On my mother’s side of the family, nobody has died younger than 85 and most live well into their 90’s, my great-aunt recently died at 103! None of them really watched their diet and most smoked at some point in their life. On the other side of the coin, I have a friend who nobody on his fathers side of the family has lived past their 60th birthday. His father recently died at 54, and his brother died the year before at 55.
I’m truly sad to see Mr. LaLanne go. He was a fine gentleman.
He has been a frequent guest of Neil Cavuto. I’m sure Neil will have something on him on tomorrow’s program.
RIP,Jack.You’ve earned it
Sad news. He was a good guy - my sympathies to Elaine.
Can you imagine how many lives Jack LaLanne touched and made better? He was a blessing from God, all the more because LaLanne was headed for trouble as a young man and turned his life around, and then with that life inspired countless people, myself included. Thanks, Jack, for living life the way you did. Thanks to God for loaning him to us.
The first thing I thought of though, when I saw the obituary on Google, was Johnny Carson's send up of him. Carson called his character Johnny Lalane, and pronounced the last name like "Lalonny". It was hilarious!
96. God bless him.
Looks like all that healthy eating and exercise finally caught up with him.
That exercise will kill you.
