yeah we sure did but its still sad. my best flick of his was red dawn. that was classic

It is sad indeed. Kinda awesome/bittersweet that he outlasted MJ though.

Either way, the celebs that have died in the past couple years that I'll really miss are George Carlin and Tim Russert. Now those were class acts. But what an actor Swayze was still.

i agree its very sad. my mom passed away from the same type of cancer 8 years ago. i am really surprised he lasted as long as he did. he look really good for what he was going through, i give him props for going through it like a champ.

Man what is the deal with all these famous folks dying? I think the the one i miss the most is that old guy from grumpy old men. Him and his buddy the other old timer, where funny as could be together.

I am in a bit of shock. Just read about Swayze. It really sucks to start your day like this. Cancer sucks, too many people die from it. I think it will be the number one killer soon if they don't find a cure. Swayze will always be remembered for Dirty Dancing and the love he had for his wife.

The real unsung hero who's died recently though is Norman Borlaug, often called the greatest man in the universe. He's saved billions, and I mean BILLIONS of lives...have you heard of him? If not, you should. Here's a Wikipedia article about him as well as a video of his appearance on Penn and Teller's "Bull****!". FYI, the video does have some questionable language, so keep that in mind if something like that bothers you.

Say what you will about him ...he could do it all loved him in "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar" the guy could act (ok adequately), dance, do comedy. will miss him

[markjfixit]

gotta love the chessyness of roadhouse!! good movie. I think the best is the skit on saturday night live with chris farley (remember it?) the chippendales that was hilarious in my opinion!! he will be missed.

[GaTechMom]

Dirty Dancing really brought him into the limelight, then there was Ghost too. Liked him as an actor and dancer. Red Dawn was another movie that I really enjoyed. He will be missed.

i just watched red dawn on blu ray and man that was good. swayze look like a kid on there. lol you know i bought it today to watch. kinda funny how when someone is gone u tend to buy things that they have either been or done. well rip swayze.
