5. II will miss that old fart

Used to read his column every day in the paper when it was the best source of news. He could always make me laugh, sometimes out loud.

6. That is how I wanna go... resigned, happy, and living each day as if it's ordinary to die

What a classy guy.

9. That may be his greatest legacy.

...living each day as if it's ordinary to die.

Thanks for summing it up so nicely!

7. What a great individual

I used to read his stuff all the time, and was happy that he made it so much longer than the docs said he probably would.

What a guy.

I read his stuff for decades.

Bye Art!

8. Only people who are totally

cofortable about death can do this. Humorous to the end.

I knew another columnists in my part of the world who wrote his own death announcement. It started with his name followed by 'died reluctantly' - that was priceless.

10. Dear Art -- the one beacon of humor that shone in the dark days of Nixon

and Watergate.

He helped keep us all quite sane in insane times.
He went out of this world on his own terms.

Not a bad legacy, that.
