I may have watched his shows maybe a few times in his whole carrier but I did know his calling card "boo ya!" I knew that was from him. Anytime I see someone passing from cancer it saddens me. I know he put up a good fight and lived his life fully til the end.
I did see his speech on the "today show" and it was pretty emotional. Seems we lost a good one, but heaven gained a good one.
i rarely feel affected by a celebrity death and wouldn't have expected this one to get to me, but it really bummed me out to hear the news and the eulogies the past 48 hours.
