From friends at ABC; Peter Jennings is near death. This is unconfirmed, but from usually reliable sources.

The ABC anchor, who was born in Canada but became a US citizen, announced a few months ago that he was suffering from lung cancer. He has not made a televised appearance since.

Yeah. Cancer.

There, but for the grace of God, go us all.

May the Lord look kindly upon him.

Our local CBS affiliate just interrupted the Sunday night sports show with breaking news that Peter Jennings has died.

Prayers for Peter and his family...

Dunno why we ended up here on a "near-death" thread instead of the first of the "he's passed away" ones.

Prayers for Peter Jennings family. I pray, too, that he was right with God before he left this earth...that Christ was alive within him....

Godspeed, Mr. Jennings.

I had never heard his last appearance before, the raspy throat....it's sad to hear.

I watched Peter Jennings for years and years, and always liked him back then.....Watching the old footage of him makes me sad to realize his life is over so soon.

Speak no ill of the dead.   Like misery, they like company.
