Default RIP Andy Rooney
I always thought that he was amusing and entertaining. He just did his last broadcast a few weeks ago and now he has died. When I first started posting here I had him as my avatar, and immediately people chimed in and told me that they hated him (which I thought was pretty funny as well).

Anyway, Andy Rooney dies at 92.

What a life to live.

The guy worked until his death at 92 even though he never needed to.

It would be nice to love your work that much.

One of the most prolific writer's of our time and certainly one of the icons of broadcasting...what a life he lived. Though i often disagreed with his opinion, he always made me laugh and more importantly...think.

I think i will read one of his books tonight because that's what he lived for.

The end of Kim Kardashian's marriage was just too much news for him to bear.

Damn, I thought maybe he can enjoy some retirement time but then again he said he would work until he died.

RIP Andy, you were always worth watching.
