He won't be here long. Sad to hear.:sadangel:

Lost my dad that way. I think it killed Patrick Swayze, too. It's a lot more common than you'd think, and because of the location of the pancreas and lack of symptoms early on, it's hard to detect early.

He won't be here long. Sad to hear.:sadangel:

You forgot to phrase that as a question.

[MrPeabody]

Yes, I lost a friend to that also a few years ago. I think he was 57 years old.

[Jeff '79]

What is.... That really sucks :cry::madcloud: ?

[StaticCling]

Really sad. He seems allright. Stellar Career. :sadangel:

Yeah, very low survival rate with that type of cancer. His life is definitely in Jeopardy. :(

I lost respect for Alex Trebek for being a TV shill for a sleazy life insurance company that prey's on the elderly.

"The company’s unscrupulous marketing is aimed at life insurance coverage for senior citizens and older people with families who have neglected to obtain life insurance in the past. Colonial Penn’s marketing strategy involves using well-known celebrities, such as Alex Trebek and Ed McMahon, in highly-stylized and over-dramatic TV commercials to sell its products to an unsuspecting audience, neglecting to mention the company’s absurdly high cost of premiums and lack of coverage."

Sad to hear. Great host and loves correcting people but that's a liberal Turdeau-loving snob for you....
