RIP, Len. He must have known something about his health when he announced his retirement. Sad day for DWTS fans. Even if he was Mr. Grumpy Pants he was OUR Mr. Grumpy Pants.
I just found out about Len's passing on the news. It said he had a battle with bone cancer. So, it's likely he did know. I'm glad he got to spend his last months with his family.
Yes, but I don't think he wanted to make a sad occasion out of the show. It's barely squeaking by as it is. And I think he actually thought of the show. By "retiring" no one has the sad spot of "filling in" the spot he left by dying. Instead, the show goes on with 3 jusges, and if later on they add a fourth, it's still not "filling in" the slot.
