U2PLT Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Art Linkletter My wife & I watched Kids Say The Funniest Things from the beginning until Art went to another topic. He was a great pioneer for live TV. Cozy & Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisLinkletter Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Thank you.. Not easy but I'm happy for him. He did not have to suffer unnecessarily and he was mentally and of course physically ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNakedWhiz Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 I'm so sorry to hear this, but it sounds like you say, he was ready, he was able to prepare, and you all were able to be there with him. He certainly shaped my life a little bit early on. I'm glad to have known his grandson! Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryR Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 My condolences go out to Linkletter family during this time of grief and hope you also celebrate the full life Mr. Linkletter lived and the joy he brought to millions throughout his life. EDIT: Caught this on Roger Ebert's Twitter page, "When radio ruled the airwaves and I listened mesmerized in my bedroom, Art Linkletter was my close personal friend."
