Not to be in delicate, but I thought he was closer to 80.

He was a very interesting guy, sad to hear it. But I think he had some health scares during his career in the past as well.

Sad news on the passing of John Clayton. I had the chance to chat with him on several occasions, and he was always a class act. A true legend. RIP.

I phoned John to ask him what it felt like to be dead and what he missed most about being alive.

Me too...

67 is too young to meet the maker.

its not how old you live to be,  but how much living you do in those years.   I have to imagine that based on what we know of him in his professional life,  paired with the recent head banger revelation,  I am guessing there was a lot more living going on than we knew about.  RIP Eggbert

Chris Mortensen has had bad health the last couple of years too. He looked pretty rough there for a while.

When Stuart Scott died it was kind of a shock to me. I always liked him.

Rest in peace, John.
