The man gave of his time to USO tours and coordinated comedy shows to raise funds for the homeless. So he was a millionaire. Money can't buy happiness.

It also can't buy class. I'm not sure what pleasure you folks get out of speaking ill of the dead, but it's ugly, coldhearted and petty.

Oh well, I never really fit in here anyway.

Carl, ultimately he is being remembered on multiple newscasts, for his suicide. Nobody said he was a terrible person in life. I have dealt with one friend's suicide. She was an addict. She didn't have multiple resources to get help. Or she was too proud to ask friends, don't know. Left an open note on facebook..."I just want you to know I love you"....5AM on a weekday two years ago.....I was up, answered..."I knew it!!!", thinking she was being cute. She was bleeding out in a bathtub in New Jersey, that was her last message. Different circumstances create different reactions is all. I generally get pissed off at people who have a good life and piss it away when others have it so much worse off. I think being homeless in my early teens ingrained that in me.

Political Correctness is a doctrine, recently fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and promoted by a sick mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end!

Thank you for remembering him for the positive things, unlike many others have.

You're my Georgia buddy, of course you fit in here.

When my stepbrother killed himself, it didn't make the national news either...that has no bearing on this. The man had talent, and demons got him in the end. Does not diminish his humanity or contributions he made. Let's leave it at that...no one else's death has any bearing on the thread
