10. It seems pretty obvious what the cause of death was from

after reading the article. I am glad that he is at peace now. Apparently he was struggling and it was not easy for him for quite some time.

8. I remeber seeing him on an episode of Wife Swap

(Yeah. I have sucky taste in tv. But my podcast queue redeems me)
He seemed pretty down to earth. Just a big kid really. I would have done some beers and video games with him.
