illness" .........just means everyone was in denial .
I guess you could think that if one has been waiting 86 years to kark it you could hardly say it...
Lot of good it did him 😆.....but yeah ,another icon gone , never one of my faves but he sure did have some fans . Reckon he was responsible for a lot of childhood injuries too .....kids kung fooin themselves into the ED 😁
