Remember him? What a hunk! Liked his music too. He was in a movie that I truly enjoyed. "A Star Is Born". I remember the scene by the fireplace after he is gone. One of the movers happens to activate a recording Kris's character left her. She(Barbara Streisand) is stricken with grief. What a movie! He also was in another one I liked. The Blade trilogy. Several others I can't recall right now. He's 87. Recently he received a misdiagnosis. He was told initially that he had Alzheimer's in 2010 only to find out he actually had Lime disease. He started to think about the end of his life and began selling off his many properties. His thinking was that the money would do the family much more good than having to sell off, divide, and otherwise figure out what to do with them after his death. It struck me that getting the family ready for the future demise is very smart. What do you think? I've written up a list of things for my daughter and grandson to remember when the time comes. Have you got all of yours handled? After all, there will be some feelings and family may not be thinking soundly. There will probably be feelings of profound sadness, pain, shock, numbness, sorrow, emotion, depression, grief, a sense of guilt, loss, despair, and even irrationality. I feel so badly that I will be leaving them with all that. Morbid I know. Something I have been about lately.

I have made out my last and will and testament when I go home to my Maker. I like Kris as a member of the country singing group The Highwaymen along with the late Johnny Cash, the late Waylon Jennings. himself and Willie Nelson.

Yes he was quite the eye candy. Especially since last year's health scare with my hubby we've had such things as what to do with our stuff conversations. Daughter lives so far away and really doesn't care about things like the table that would be fourth generation when she gets it. She'll have a nice bit of house and from that a pile of moolah if she sells. Still scratching my head about this topic.

This is the time to do it. So people won't have to wonder about it after the fact.

@TheHorse ........My daughter will need all the help she can get. She has a learning disability so things don't always come easy for her.

I so remember him and loved his music and acting. I read an article recently that stated that he was not doing well. So sad about that. I think we have most of our stuff handled when that time comes for us.

It's not something I think about. I plan to live for another 36 years or so. I don't know who will be left by that time. No one of the previous generation is left and already three of my current generation have given up the ghost.

What I have left can just be tossed no one would care about it anyway. I left a lot of stuff for my stepdaughter in Latvia including books and other stuff. She put it all in a garage she rents and has not bothered to look it all over in sic years. So in other words no one cares about anything I have,

Yeah we was a fine looking man! We don't have anything in order and we don't really care as of right now because we have no one to leave it to. All we have is junk anyway and nothing good.
