Horrible disease. Robin Williams had it. I think my mother in law has advanced stage of it. One difference from other forms of dementia is early onset of hallucinations.

Never heard of lewy body dementia... RIP!!

Late pop music announcer Casey Kasem had it .

[fishtank]

Yep that was his name!!!!

Haha!

Rush gave more than one person that middle name!!!

My father had it and passed. Oh boy, did he ever have hallucinations! It’s quick though...months not years like Alzheimers.

Good man - sorry he got this horrible disease. RIP

Any Republican that trusted Gergen was a fool.

Robin Williams had it, and hung himself before he flat out died from it.

I watched him many, many times, years ago on various PBS shows.

I didn’t always agree with him, but he often was the only conservative-leaning person. He worked to explain things, rather than be emotional, like Mark Shields was.

Rest in peace.

Condolences to his family and friends. But I will not miss his RINO politics.
