Tom Snyder passed away due to luekemia also.

Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA I remember listening to his late night radio show -- although can't put a timeline on when that would have been. I remember he'd use theme songs from the various movie studios as his music. 20th Century Fox, Tri-Star et al. He was a young man -- only 71. Alas, he was a smoker -- making him weak, and a nuisance while at Disneyland.

I think my favorite part is watching Gene's reaction as Ace takes over.
