So sad.

My father is the same age and is in an Alzheimer’s care facility. Happens to a lot of people when they get to their late 70s.

I wish Mr. Campbell’s family the best. Even when your family member is in a home, there’s still a lot of monitoring and attention needed.

He became a Christian and later got messed up (happens sometimes - happened to me) and then gradually found peace, then this. I plan to see him in Heaven.

Time takes its toll on the Wrecking Crew.

[PghBaldy]

It is hard to believe he is 78. Very sad.

[GSWarrior]

Meet Glen Campbell and Ghost on the Canvas are both very good CDs. Sorry I never got to see him live on tour.

[CGASMIA68]

Yes what a humiliating and destructive disease to all associated with it and with it.

[Westbrook]

A great talent.

Amazing guitar player.

IIRC, he even went on tour with the Beach Boys at least once.

He wasn’t doing badly just two years ago.

Here is a Grammy Tribute to Glen Campbell where he sang his hits with other country stars. That was a historic moment.

His music was the epitome of the 70’s backlash against the creeping bilge of the 60’s “music.”

Just watched him last night in True Grit (1969). I enjoyed his show back in the day too.
Sad to see him go this way.

We drove through little Delight on our way to Crater of Diamonds State Park a few years ago.......

[trisham]

Poor man. What a terrible disease.

[ifinnegan]

I didn’t know til not that long ago how much of a hand Campbell had in so many of the “classic songs” from the 60’s.

Sad. My mother just passed last month after a looooong struggle with the disease. She got to where she could no longer swallow and basically starved to death.

Since smoking is said to take 10 years off your life, and dementia appears to be in my future, maybe I better start smoking fast.

A class act.

Sad...the Campbell motto is "Do Not Forget".

[ronnie raygun]

Talented man!

[CH3CN]

Lost my older sister to early onset AD 10 years ago. She was 59. Prayers and strength for Glenn’s family. It’s a hard, slow demise to watch.

[Bobalu]

That Texican, saved my life twice...once after he was already dead.
