I hope there was some money left for the family after the lawyers bills.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for his passing and sorrier still for the pain and suffering of his final years.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
