Senator Fred Thompson Has Passed Away!

[JSR III]

Sorry to hear the sad news. Even sadder that he was only 73, especially when you are in your mid 60's....

Good man, I met him once, boy was he an imposing figure. Never was the same after his daughter died a few years ago. RIP Fred.

Yes he is, and I lost all respect for him due to those ads. They are a rip-off. I also don't like Henry (whiney butt) Winkler for doing those ads too.

I didn't care that much for him and I liked Henry Winkler even less. I never liked him in Happy Day and could just barely tolerate him in any of the other roles he played.

Always admire the man, he made sense when he talked. Also enjoyed his appearances in the movies. He was a class act in his public and private life. I will miss him.

News article said he died of Lymphoma (a form of blood cancer), but provided no details.

The man had a brass set going up against his own party during Watergate, seeking the truth.

RIP Senator.

He was one of a VERY few politicos I actually liked and had respect for. Rest in Peace Fred.
