I love Jimmy for all his work, but based on the photo, it's time for him to go and be back with the love of his life. He's had a great and productive 100 years, and he's obviously very tired. He's fought a great fight. Let him vote and just let him rest after. God bless him. It's sad, but it's time for him to get the rest he needs. His family should never have given him a photo in that state.

Yes, per videos I've seen on social media. He has endorsed Harris and just can't support Trump in any way.

I love American Pickers and Frank was great on the show along with Mike. May he R.I.P.
-
I'm very happy Jimmy made it to 100. What a life he's had in political office and out of it as well.

When I saw the photo of Jimmy at his beloved wife's funeral, I expected him to go by Christmas. I'm sure he's in organ failure. Usually with frail elderly people, it's the end for them when they stop eating and drinking. We don't know how much Jimmy is eating or drinking these days. Probably not much if I had to make a guess. George HW Bush had very lite meals at the end.

Judy recently talked about Jerry, and says that even at over 90, he's still sharp and takes good care of himself and still has the same physique he had when they first me 48 years ago. Barring any health turns for the worse, he's probably safe for a few more years.

Forgot that he had another sister.

I saw Volman for the Turtles's Happy Together Tour a few nights ago, which they've done for close to 15 years now, along with the Cowsills, Joey Molland, (the last surviving member of Badfinger), the Vogues, the Association, Jay and the Americans, and Volman and Ron Dante of the Archies. He looks slightly aged from the last time I saw him in 2016, but still had the same sense of humor, by singing a portion of "It Ain't Me Babe", while doing a Bob Dylan impression. He was pretty upbeat the whole show. Lewy Body Dementia is a terrible disease with so much uncertainty but he's trying very hard to defeat the odds and live a full life. God bless him.

Another thing too is all of Trump's siblings are dead with two of them dying within the past four years. Both of them didn't make it to 93 or 88, and of course Fred Jr. died years before the parents died. Regarding another president, Jimmy Carter's siblings all lived shorter lives and had more health issues. Jimmy's stated in the past that his lifestyle of being active helped with his health and longevity. My grandparents lived to 83 and 88. Their oldest son (my uncle) died earlier this year at 67 after a battle with lung cancer. He was a lifelong smoker and former heavy drinker, and had health issues off and on for the last 15 years of his life. Trump didn't age that much during his presidency due to little hard work and no real stress, but now has started to age due to the stress of all his trials. He's become more incoherent during speeches than he was in 2016 or even 2020. I think he's declining rapidly.

For presidents, I think Carter goes first due to age and hospice care, but he's obviously hanging on the best he can right now. Kind of an unpopular opinion, but I think Biden just might outlive Trump. Biden has his senior moments at times, which could be Parkinson's, but he also still exercises regularly. Trump on the other hand is obese, loves food that clogs arteries, has started to finally have stress with the legal battles, (you can definitely see him aging with the makeup off), and his slurred speech and incoherent remarks remind me of people I know who have had advanced dementia, which I think is rapidly worsening. Trump just seems by some to be healthier, due to the fact that he does have energy at times, whereas Biden tends to be calmer. Clinton looked OK, but his voice was slightly weaker than it was a few years ago, the vegetarian diet might help, but with known heart issues, that's something to keep an eye on. Bush likely makes it into his 90's, and still seems to be the same person he was when president. Obama sure has aged since leaving office, but he has gone on record saying the aging wasn't just part of the stress, but genetics as well. He's also a healthy eater as well.

I'm surprised Gary's made it as long as he has with the injury and a few overdoses. To be fair, Gary's not been looking that great for a few years now. If he were to suddenly die of a heart attack or stroke, I wouldn't be surprised.
-
Seems like a busy week and a half for deaths it seems. Shelley Duvall, Dr. Ruth, Richard Simmons, Shannen Doherty, Jacoby Jones, James Sikking, Bob Newhart and now Lou Dobbs. It looks like Lou had a show earlier today, and was sharing the now infamous photo of Trump's injury as well, so his death appears to be sudden.
-
Chomsky as Jimmy seems to be trying very hard to hold on. Both are in bad shape, but Chomsky seems to be worse.
-
What a big miss there. With a stroke, and her advanced age, it shouldn't be that big of a surprise. She was a very entertaining woman. R.I.P. Dr. Ruth.
-
He also recorded the Masters Tournament theme, at least for American broadcasts.
-
I feel like Biden's been a great president, but with two gaffes yesterday, I don't know if there's a way to come back from that. It's a shame because so many great things have happened overall under his administration. To be honest, I also think Trump has gotten worse as well mentally and the media should cover their issues equally.
-
i've heard the reason the TT still goes on despite all the fatalities is the fact that the riders love what they do and knowingly accept the risk each year.

Magic Johnson, And Other Basketball Players
jd24fan replied to Death Watch Beatle's topic in DeathList Forum
This is fairly shocking. He was still commenting games earlier this year I believe. A great player and a very interesting colorful commentator as well. -
Dave Keon or Ron Ellis?
-
I watch Bar Rescue a lot and Taffer's a great host who knows his stuff, but I know he always seemed to be the type to have a potential heart attack with his big size and yelling at the owners/staff. He's aged somewhat over the past few seasons, but he also has mellowed out in those seasons as well. I hope he'll still be around for awhile as he is fun and entertaining to watch.
-
I wonder if he's aware of Kissinger's death?
-
I posted on here a while back, but I think Trump's health is worse than what he lets on. I think all the indictments against him have made him worse mentally. Watch a rally from this time last year and watch a rally since the start of this year. He's really going downhill. He's had problems with slurred speech for a few years now, but it's been worsening over the past few months. The energy he had in 2016 is really going down with his trials. Biden is a few years older, but is in better shape, so it wouldn't surprise me if Biden outlives Trump.

TMZ gave more information about his last months. They wrote his health deteriorated rapidly over the past 11 months, and was in and out of the hospital during that time. When the cancer was unlikely going to be beaten, he was put in hospice. After another visit to the hospital 2 weeks ago, he was sent home to live out his remaining days. The end came quickly once his family arrived. He also made no deathbed confession. OJ gave a cryptic Twitter video about him having cancer last May, but didn't mention what type and also was confident he beat it. In a February video, he denied he was going into hospice care. I'm not sure if he'd be the type that would reveal if he was literally fighting for his life, but it seems like the end was very quick especially.
-
Even though he was 82, It's still a shock, as he was still heavily involved in politics until his passing. He was still being interviewed a few days ago about No Labels.

I think Peter Marshall might be a great choice for 2025. 96, and had a near-fatal bout with COVID-19 in 2021 by nearly going into hospice care until a miraculous recovery happened with a different doctor and 24-hour care. His 68-year-old son also caught Covid later in the year, and unfortunately, wasn't so lucky. His COVID-19 battle also ended his decades-long entertainment career. I've not heard much of anything since he had his 95th birthday party a few years ago. He's likely a good DL pick for however much time he has left.
