Taro T Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 3 minutes ago, Never NEVER Give-up said: Again?!?!? I thought he passed years ago! (?) No, he went to jail many years ago & then got released very early because of his imminent demise. The docs were close with that prediction. Not.

The docs were close with that prediction. Not. Oh the perks of being rich. People lost whole livelihoods because of his actions and the actions of his partners and family members. That cost should never be ignored or forgotten. May those who loved him find peace and those who paid his debts do the same. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 I hope and pray that he finds peace when he meets his maker. I hope his family does the same and in some way provides some restitution to the many victims of their crimes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 Was always taught if you have nothing good to say, then say nothing at all. I don’t always follow this rule, but in this case… 🤐 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the point of the Joel song wasn't that those who physically die young, are necessarily good, but that some young people give up on life or don't experience life.

He was 53 when he died in 1982. I'm 51 now. On the upside, Marv Levy is still kicking around at 96. WWII vet to boot.

Ruff Around The Edges Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 John Rigas might be considered a disgraced owner, but I miss his ownership over the Pegula tire fire by a country mile. RIP John. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
