Patrick Swayze

Well I've joked about it often enough.  What a shame - I was watching interviews of his only a couple of weeks ago and thinking 'fuck he's lasted a long while'.

[/QUOTE]Regardless of how shitty his 80's movies were, he was (like that Michael Landon guy who died in the early 90's) a model for anyone fighting a cunt of a disease.  My hat is sincerely off to him.[/QUOTE]

I am completely gutted. I thought for sure he would beat this even though it is the most deadly of all cancers...I had hope.

I'm glad he was able to go in peace and not surrounded by paparazzi.

RIP

We all saw it coming, and it was just a matter of when.

Hope he had some good last moments next to his loved ones.

how sad- he seemed to be doing ok for a while.

RIP, swayze. you were the swayziest.

be sure to see a resurge of his movies on TV....

nothign wrong with that .... he did have some good movies...

Ghost is a great flick...

In interviews, etc., he always came across as a good guy.  He fought the good fight.  I'm glad he was able to live out his last days in a somewhat private manner.  Rock on Patrick Swayze.

I believe even he thought he could beat the disease.

There was some report earlier on this year saying he was winning his fight against this terrible disease.

Makes the film Ghost all the more poignant.

My grandmother died of that - she lasted 9 weeks from diagnosis, not much older than him.  So deadly.  Well done for all the fighting and brave determination.

Bon journee Johnny.

First Swayze dies, and now Keith Floyd does the same.........

^yep,more upset over Keith Floyd than Swayze to be honest.
RIP to both but more to Keith who was THE celebrity chef that all the others want to be,the man was a complete legend on and off the screen.Gordon Ramsey isnt even in the same building as Floyd when it comes to cooking food on tv and giving it an 'energy' that the audience could appreciate.

Now its the turn of (minor) Hi De Hi star and Morecambe and Wise's warm up man, Felix Bowness...... Death sure has been a busy man recently....

R.I.P.

Such an incredible spirit and such a incredible will to live. Never seen anyone fight this disease as hard, and with as much determination as he did....
Its amazing, the love inside~take it with you.
Rest in Peace Patrick

And now, HE'S like the wind...
