Did he come to Christ at the end?
Or remain a bitter communist?

This is what happens if you let yourself get too old.

Old people (over 85) die when:

1. They retire after working all their lives
2. Their spouses die

Statistically for some reason, if you keep working into your 80s, you will die very quickly after you retire. This is true whether you choose to retire at 85 or 95....

RIP Rooney. I was not your fan but vaya con Dios. I wish you a blessed Eternal life.

I am very sorry. I am sorry for his family and friends. I remember a 60 Minutes where he took issue with the Ten Commandments. I hope that in the interveening years he changed his mind and heart.

Have been noticing the same thing.

Best advice - don’t retire until you have other options - i.e. productive hobbies and interests.

I believe he was an atheist; very sad.

I just texted the same message to my brother. Great minds.

Now we won't get to hear a few minutes with Andy Rooney on this subject.

"You ever notice how you die? It seems like everyone gets around to it eventually, but why is that? Nobody LIKES to die, so how come we don't figure out a way not to do that? It seems silly to keep doing it even when we've seen the results. You get put in the ground. I don't like the ground, it's dirty...."

etc...

He was a satirist. Sadly, its a lost art.

Wow, just a couple of weeks ago he did a segment on 60 minutes, about his retirement. Sorry to hear of his passing. Some of his rants were pretty good.

“Old people (over 85) die when:

1. They retire after working all their lives
2. Their spouses die”

3. They go to hospital for a minor procedure and get an infection....beware

God Bless his family and he did entertain alot of Americans. But he was a bitter old man.

The Main Street Media will want to treat him like a Head of State. That will be a sad site.
