3. What a great sense of humor he had in his critique of everyday, common items.
He had the ability to bring those mild irritations, we often mutter about under our breath, to the surface for all to laugh at and enjoy. He certainly nailed it for me.

RIP, Andy. You've earned it, but I'd still love to hear your commentary on where that rest might be...I hope it is all praise.

5. Controversial But Intriguing
Gotta hand it to the man - he always kept everything interest.

Will be sorely missed.

6. my late father loved Andy Rooney
Dad loved Andy and could hardly wait until 60 minutes was at its end so he could hear what Andy had to say for the week. Dad was about the same age as Andy and also a fellow Irishman in the finest of standing. }(

May you rest in peace Andy and say hello to my Dad up there would you? O8)

:kick: & recommend.

10. I loved him on 60 minutes
He could take an everyday moment and boil it down to something so thought-provoking, it was breath-taking.
