Wow!! I've been watching meet the depressed for years. He didn't look like he was ready for the dirt nap. I guess you never really know when it is time.

Sad news. Won't get to see the 2008 election end.

HedgeHog · 06-13-08, 03:20 PM

Watched him every Sunday. You just never know when it's your time.

Illusion · 06-13-08, 03:22 PM

I caught the show for the first time ever a few weeks ago and now he passes. Very sad.

This one comes to a surprise to me considering he was only like 58 years old.

RIP

BBD with diabetes is always sudden. We have a friend that died a year ago at age 50 from a heart attack and he was diabetic. We rode motorcycles just before the day he died.

Hard guy not to like.

I know he was a mouth piece in politics for the democrats way back when but he was a very fair journalist that wasn't biased at least on camera.He was even fair to Ron Paul and treated him with more respect than most in the media do.He made people feel at at ease because he had a good sense of humor.

A typical ethnic Catholic guy from a rust belt town like Buffalo.I grew up with allot of these types of guys where I live in the rust belt.It said he had to put his 90 year old dad in a home last weekend.That could have been the stress that pushed his heart over the limit?It showed file footage of him on crutches recently.Not sure what that was all about?
