I hope there was some money left for the family after the lawyers bills.
I am sorry for his passing and sorrier still for the pain and suffering of his final years.
I loved Columbo. Falk gave that character a classic standing. Good for him he used his physical disability as a positive motivation to pursue his dearms. Sad that the last years of his life was not what he had wanted or planned for dragged through the courts, shameful and a disgrace. Now I pray he can rest in peace.
