Bozo the clown dead at 89

http://www.wwltv.com/mobile/article...r-playing-bozo-the-clown-dies-at-89/530837720

A longtime Boston television personality and entertainer known for playing Bozo the Clown has died at age 89.

WCVB-TV reports Frank Avruch died Tuesday at his Boston home from heart disease.

Avruch played Bozo the Clown from 1959 to 1970, a clown character particularly popular in the U.S. in the 1960s because of widespread franchising in television.

I am seriously heartbroken. :(

Statement from R. Lee Ermey's long time manager, Bill Rogin:

It is with deep sadness that I regret to inform you all that R. Lee Ermey ("The Gunny") passed away this morning from complications of pneumonia. He will be greatly missed by all of us. It is a terrible loss that nobody was prepared for. He has meant so much to so many people. And, it is extremely difficult to truly quantify all of the great things this man has selflessly done for, and on behalf of, our many men and women in uniform. He has also contributed many iconic and indelible characters on film that will live on forever. Gunnery Sergeant Hartman of Full Metal Jacket fame was a hard and principled man. The real R. Lee Ermey was a family man, and a kind and gentle soul. He was generous to everyone around him. And, he especially cared deeply for others in need.

There is a quote made famous in Full Metal Jacket. It's actually the Riflemen's Creed. "This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine."

There are many Gunny's, but this one was OURS. And, we will honor his memory with hope and kindness. Please support your men and women in uniform. That's what he wanted most of all.

Semper Fi, Gunny. Godspeed.

Talk about a sad weekend

Art Bell used to keep me company on the radio when I worked nights on the river.

“If man evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes?”

And 'R. Lee Ermey.... the man was nothing short of a Hero.

“I want that head so sanitary and squared away that the Virgin Mary herself would be proud to go in there and take a dump”

And Barbara Bush has gone home to await her final voyage. :(

For something as mundane as pneumonia to take a leatherneck like him out is jarring.

That's the character I liked. I never could get into Night Court, but loved Cheers back in the day

Not at that age
Saw yesterday I think where she said to not do anything else for her.

Not many make it to 92....

heck I never expected to make it to 60.
But apparently did not inherit my fathers genetics. They all died from heart issues by 50.

Yep my fav show on the radio by far.
Used to listen to click and clack too. But didn't one of them die?

Was listening to Wait Wait once in the blazer when wife got in and listened a few minutes and then asked what is that?
LOL

You know he banged (Joan Marie Laurer/Chyna)

As did a whole bunch of other people. :giggle:
Still, that had to be an interesting hookup.

According to TMZ, it’s looking like either suicide or he drank himself to death.
