    Very sad.  Glad he made it to 80.  Still too soon.  Always seemed like a great guy.  
    I loved when that guy made his Final Jeopardy answer “we love you Alex”

    Loved him on Double Dare and Classic Concentration.  One of the classiest TV personalities we have ever had the pleasure of watching.
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    RIP to a great Canadian.  He was a big time supporter of the University of Ottawa.  Sudbury and all of Canada 🇨🇦 will miss Alex.

    I had a friend remind me that him and Sean Connery passed away in about a week of one another.

    He was the best.  I think they said that there is enough episodes filmed to last a bit.

    Saw it reported today it’s going to be new episodes leading up to his final episode due to air on Christmas Day.

    Yes, 35 more episodes.

    I got choked up watching the special on him.  Had no idea that he was suffering.  Dude kept it on the downlow like Chadwick Boseman did.
