Biff Wellington Posted November 5, 2011 #1 Share Posted November 5, 2011 NEW YORK — Andy Rooney so dreaded the day he had to end his signature "60 Minutes" commentaries about life's large and small absurdities that he kept going until he was 92 years old.Even then, he said he wasn't retiring. Writers never retire. But his life after the end of "A Few Minutes With Andy Rooney" was short: He died Friday night, according to CBS, only a month after delivering his 1,097th and final televised commentary. Rooney had gone to the hospital for an undisclosed surgery, but major complications developed and he never recovered... link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiffSplitkins Posted November 7, 2011 #9 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I always liked what Andy Rooney had to say. He knew how to use slight humor and sarcasm very tastefully. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
