Never forget the Deal A Meal cards

RIP to a legend

A fixture of my childhood. I cried today when my sister told me.

Sad to see him go, he really actually seemed like he gave a crap. Read he has had several incidents with cancer though.. :\

Also, a good example of that bullying isn't ever ok.

We could all use this movie:

One of the greatest. He will be missed.

Mom had the whole Deal a Meal and Sweatin series that he ran. She loved his excitement and it made her work out. He was always on at my house growing up.

 

[AJUMP23]

He had an infectious personality.

 

[Alex Anderson]

RIP. Got pretty sad when I checked wikipedia obits earlier.

Rest In Peace. I hadn't heard his name in a long time and the last time I did, I think he'd become something of a recluse that worried some of his friends. God rest is gentle soul.

 

[ReBurn]

He helped a lot of people

 

[Forsete]

RIP.

The Pauly Shore resemblance is uncanny.

 

[Esca]

A genuinely good person from everything I've seen. We need more people like him in the world that actual care about others and helping them

Eddie did a great impersonation in Nutty Professor "I'm a pony! I'm a pony!"

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I remember him as a kid. He was an inspiration to the LGBT community as well as many others. He will be missed.

Oh shit. didn't see that coming. My mom had all the sweating to the oldies and his deal a meal when I was young.

I'll never not think of this scene whenever his name comes up:

Robin Williams was like that too. Met him 3 times in SF and sat behind him and Zelda at the midnight showing of Two Towers at the Coronet. He would be joking with people in line at McDonalds.
