I have been in shock since I learned of his passing. It was an even harder one to bare than Newman's. But, here are a few things I learned about this man that I had not known before:
* He had polio when he was young
* He lost his mother before he was 20.
* He lost an education due to heavy drinking.
* He lost two sons, Scott and Jamie.
* He had a 27 year marriage.
* His dear friend Paul Newman was nearly ten years older.
His legacy lives on.

They have private lives that most of us know nothing about. Thanks for the information.
