[QUOTE="Paddledogger, post: 228755, member: 2876"] For those of you who have been around a few decades remember one of the funniest and greatest comedians of all time was Tim Conway doing skits on the Carol Burnett Show. Tragically, the news coming out of the Los Angeles area is that Mr. Conway has been suffering in late stage dementia and is reportedly unresponsive. He is one of the GREATEST! One of my favorite skits was "The Dentist": [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF_C3bO8WZ0[/URL] Dementia or Alzheimer's is such a horrible disease where family members basically loose your loved ones twice. For me personally, I lost my father to Alzheimer's a little over a year and a half. When he retired down in Arizona, my parents would spend the summer up in North Dakota at their trailer at Deepwater Bay. My dad would fish almost every day. Then he started showing signs of being forgetful, lost interest in fishing. Mother took care of him the best she could for 4-5 years after diagnosed, but spent the last 2 years in memory care center. He succumb to the disease in January of 2017. I sure feel truly blessed to have grown up watching and laughing at Tim's work over the years. His legacy will definitely live on for years once he passes. His way of life and laughter is something that we should all imitate, for his humor and humble humility was quite impressive. [/QUOTE]
