Why Can’t We Choose Who We Want to Hear About Dying? (Tribute to Andy Rooney on His Passing)
I just found out Andy Rooney passed away Friday night of complications following minor surgery (Associated Press). It’s the second public figure I’ve always enjoyed hearing about who has passed away within a month. The other was Steve Jobs.
