A sad day for his family. I hope they find the joy in his life outweighs the sorrow of losing him.

I have always refered to Andy Rooney as Mr. Obvious-his Archie Bunkeresqe way of drawing my attention to the irony in the obvious really helped me personally see the chit from the shineola. R.I.P. Mr. Obvious, you crusty but much admired irishman!

Highly recommend his book My War about covering WWII with Cronkite and Ernie Pyle. A side of him I'd never seen.
