Re: Andy Rooney Passed

Always liked Andy. I guess his retirement was his work considering he was 92. If he didn't fall ill, he never would of retired. Don't understand how a person can love what they do so much that they work until their last days. There's alot of people out there who do the same thing. I wont be one of them.....

1097 episodes of 60 minutes.

When you love what you do their is no such word as retire.

Lot's of good stuff on TV about him today.

His biography is truly amazing. An American icon.

Re: Andy Rooney Passed

"Retirement" is a state of mind. If you love what you do, there is no retirement. You might just find another way to do it. I know that's my path.

RIP! Andy, you will be missed. One of the great minds and great communicator of his point of view. Made you think..
