Poor Al......

Not a bad way to go: over 80, at home, with spouse, no suffering.

I hope to be as lucky.

Very sad indeed. That kind of passing is easy on the ones gone (the no suffering) but so much harder on the ones left behind.

How sad... poor Al I just saw him in concert just over a week ago... I feel so bad for him

What a double tragedy to lose both parents at once. We just never know what tomorrow will bring, but expect change.

Very sad, and the second carbon monoxide problem I've seen in 2 weeks;
a friend of ours was on the phone with my wife, and when my wife hung up, she said our friend was going to clean the soot off her walls; the furnace was acting up. I had her call her right back, and told her to turn off the furnace and call the service company right away; if the soot was getting in the house, so was the carbon monoxide.
She turned it off, and called; they were there in about an hour. They took some readings, and there was plenty of carbon monoxide in her house; but not enough to kill, yet. Her insurance company put in a new furnace, cleaned the soot, and now her kids have been "cured" of the colds/flu they were fighting over the last week.

FYI- get a carbon monoxide detector; they are cheap, reliable, and will save your life.

Al posted a message on his website. I feel so sad for him.

Wow... what a shame. I feel so bad for Al. He's such a terrific performer - I've been a fan of his since his earliest days on The Doctor Demento show.

Thanks for the link, Laura - Al's message is quite moving. I'm glad he's going to continue with his tour and feel the love and concern of his fans. It will help him.

Very sad...

When I saw the news the other day I was saddened to say the least.

Al seems like such a nice individual, and I'm sure he became that way because of loving parents and family..
