Oh my goodness. Just watched this and cried. I noticed the lack of use in his left hand and then of course the slurring. That was Bob too. Too sad.

I seen it about a month ago on Sunday Morning with Charles Ozgood. That scene where the whole town is signing the wooden box that looks like a truck. I think his son built it, the whole town writing messages on it. then the camera panned out and it was his casket. Thats when I lost it, and knew what this more, nice hard working man had.............

Wow, we should all be this lucky! Guess he has great karma; so glad he gets know it!

6 months to live, yet he is walking around? ALS must hit people differently. My mom hasn't been able to walk on her own for over a year and she can talk pretty well, although she takes a breath after every few words. But she can yell!
