Jerry Orbach died Tuesday night after battling prostate cancer for several weeks. He was 69. Full story here.



I can't believe he's gone. I mean, I knew that he was ill, but I just assumed that he would get better. I never imagined that he would actually die. This is such an awful surprise.

I think I'm going to cry.

Rest in peace, Jerry Orbach. You will be sorely missed.

People die. At least he fell from illness. Not from a roadside bomb.

No need to cry really. Just remember that for every death there is a life.

Meh. Unless that life is another little Jerry Orbach coming into the world, that's not much consolation.

Hello,

I'm just passing through and I have no idea who Jerry Orbach is. However, I did like the fact that you're using pictures of Horatio Hornblower to describe your current mood(s). As a proud member of that outstanding clan, I salute you for doing your part to raise his profile. This dark world has done its best to forget the influence of his noble and heroic spirit, but thanks to you his memory lives on. Oh, and pretty much everything about him was made up by a guy called C.S. Forrester. Also, I'm not even really sure if an English sea captain named Horatio Hornblower ever existed, so I think Forrester just made him up out of the blue. I'll need to do some research on that one. But nevertheless, Horatio's memory lives on.

---James W. Hornblower

p.s. Nice place you've got here.
