    Didn't agree with a lot of his commentary, but I liked the way he related to his audience.

    Default Former '60 Minutes' Commentator Andy Rooney Dies

    From CBS News
    Andy Rooney, the "60 Minutes" commentator known to
    generations for his wry, humorous and contentious
    television essays - a unique genre he is credited with
    inventing - died Friday night in a hospital in New York City
    of complications following minor surgery. He was 92, and
    had homes in New York City, Rensselaerville, N.Y. and
    Rowayton, Conn.
    "It's a sad day at '60 Minutes' and for everybody here at
    CBS News," said Jeff ***er, chairman of CBS News and
    the executive producer of "60 Minutes." "It's hard to
    imagine not having Andy around. He loved his life and he
    lived it on his own terms. We will miss him very much."
    Rooney had announced on Oct. 2, 2011 in his 1,097th
    essay for "60 Minutes" that he would no longer appear
    regularly.

    Sad news, though not unexpected. Sometimes when you see people work into their very late years you almost expect this to happen as what has been keeping them going (work) is no longer there. Kinda of like with JoePa at Penn State...he can't retire or he'll die.
