Ramblin' Rod Has Died

[ViRGE]

Ok, before I get a bunch of questions; Ramblin' Rod was a local Portland, Ore. TV personality, so most of you probably won't know who he is...

As for the rest of you, he died Friday of a stroke at age 69(Articles here and here w/video). Is anyone else feeling a bit emptier now; knowing that the guy who brough so many mornings of good kid's TV is dead? May he and his button-laden jacket rest happily in the sky.

That's terrible!!

I had no idea he was in failing health..

Edit: Oh, wow.. It doesen't look like there was really any indications.. He just collapsed..

That sucks, I had always wanted to be on his show.

Bump for the rest of the Oregonians.

I've never heard of him, but my sympathies go out. Sounds like a cool guy.

That's too bad.

I watched his show a lot, & ran into him once at OMSI when on a class field trip.
