Do you remember Richard Simmons? The health guru. I guess that police and fire responded to his housekeeper's call at about 10 AM on Saturday and he was pronounced dead at the scene. He had posted on Facebook several times recently thanking his fans for birthday wishes. He was popular in the 70's and 80's and had a TV show for quite a while. I remember he was always full of energy and even rather silly at times. He would get very emotional and took his fans very seriously with their personal weight loss issues. What an interesting fellow he was. The image is from fanpop.com

Simmons got people moving and grooving. I admire that effort. He probably saved some people's lives by getting them going.

@celticeagle There's nobody in the public eye that will continue his efforts now.
