I had heard earlier this week he was in the hospital, but assumed that at such a young age, that everything would be OK.
I respected his talents, and he will be missed.
Rest in Peace, funnyman. |

I grew up not far from where Bernie did - he was 2 years behind me in school. Known as a 'real' person, no BS about him. Very sad news indeed...this story has been covered extensively here...when he did not comeout after a week I feared the worst.Although the publicist is saying it didn'thave anything to do with the sarcoidosis he had, one has to believe pneumonia would have an affect on that as well..
RIP..... |

Sat 8/9/2008 8:18p | Whenmy wife leftMcDonalds Corp - she followed an exec to a local hospital group in my suburb. Even though the hospital is one of the top Heart Hospitals in the Midwest - she said the #1 thing hospitals are ranked on here is the treatment of pneumonia. So yeah, you're right in the seriousness of the illness.
ActuallyI hadpneumonia4 times in my life- twice before age 8 ( and it did have some long term effects on my lung capacity) - and the last time I was 28 years old. Even though it was 25 years ago,i still remember not being able to get out of bed on Christmas morning ( andI was a 25 year old very strong athlete at the time) - my doctor actually made a house call on Christmas - and that evening I was off to the hospital with 105 degree fever. I was in 4 days.
It was the weakest I ever was in my life.. |

Sat 8/9/2008 8:41p | OK VB, I don't want to take this off topic but I have to ask this...And this is one thing I have never understood...I worked with a gal years ago that was always sick it seemed...You name it she had it at any given moment...In reality she turned out to be a lunatic that was finally diagnosed as being bipoloar...Some great stories about that but back to the issue...
She would every so often say she was sick and the she had walking pneumonia...Now that is something I have really never understood...Do you have any clue about it? |

Sat 8/9/2008 8:43p | Pardon my "the she" above it should have read as "that she"...Then again it almost sounded like I was trying to call her a "shim"...Well in reality she was almost a "shim"... |
