Patrick Swayze died today
It's sad when the celebrities you grew up with start dying. When it's the ones that are the same age as you are, that REALLY sucks! He was just two years older than I am. 57 is just way too young to die.

I've lost too many friends to cancer. Seems so damn unfair.

There are so many treatable forms of cancer, yet there's a huge population of adults in the US, with access to preventative healthcare, that have never been tested or screened. It's still shocking, despite what is well know, how many people still smoke in this country.

Pancreatic cancer = death sentence.
Heard this morning he was a smoker to the last. My mother (lung) and her father (pancreas) both died from cancer. |

Years ago I flew from Dallas to Baton Rouge seated across the aisle from a very attractive blonde. When we unboarded and got inside the terminal, Patrick Swayze was there to meet her and gave her a very enthusiastic welcome. I later learned that the blonde was his wife Lisa Niemi and she was joining her husband on a film location.
He seems to have had a loving marriage and a great life, but his death surely wasn't easy. |

Mercedes Benz trivia
His "B" film "Roadhouse" is very famous among 560SEC fans because a diamond blue 1989 560SEC was prominently featured in that movie, as his daily driver, and endorsed in the movie credits by Mercedes Benz USA.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POfnFjyHiRw <----- see 1:01 et seq. He lost his NY front license plate in the final scene. (In the final jump crash and burn scene, continuous replays by 560SEC junkies confirm that an actual old 380SEC, minus engine and transmission was used.)
