I am sorry to hear this. I have always liked him and have been rooting for him every time i've seen him on television. I saw something this last year where he appeared in a fairly recent show, and I remarked to others how hale and healthy he was looking for a man of his age. I think it was the remake of "Coming to America."
Also liked him in "Beast Master." He was a cool character.
Beastmaster. One of my favorites as a young teen. Watched over and over during the dawn of cable TV. Watched it a few years ago; seems corny now, but my 10 yr old (at the time) loved it
