Re: More Sad news
Yes !! It most surely IS Very Sad.
Even Worse to have Missed the opportunity to say a Final Thanks and Goodbye, to someone that Figured in Our 'Collective' lives,..so Vividly and for So Many years.
He HAS and WILL continue to be missed by Many, as will I am sure, the Other members of the Cowell family in general.
