Pancreatic Cancer is a real bitch, very few ever beat it and at 78 really not a big shocker. Whats the official count of how many kids he has?

And who could forget his famous role as playing "Jack Stratton" in episode: "Which One Is Jaime?" (episode # 3.18) of "The Bionic Woman" which aired on February 25, 1978.
I fucking love the Bionic Woman. I guess it's because she was one of the first women I saw on TV. This was back in the day when really hot chicks from TV and shit didn't make home videos of them sucking off rock stars. So I have a soft spot for a lot of the old school movie/tv chicks like linda carter, jane fonda, the chick who was in teh fall guy, daisy duke, etc. There was an air of mystery and class that surrounded them unlike the chicks now who will pull out their pussies and finger themselves to try and act all liberated, modern, or even EDGY, etc.
So yeah, dead guy. See ya later, ya fucking coco puff wit ears.
