Patrick Swayze always struck me as a fundamentally decent man. A talented professional, who worked hard, never seemed to take himself too seriously, and faced tragedy and death with great dignity. He will be missed.
Honestly, I don't know why I put this up. never post celebrity news, even obits. But for whatever reason I always liked Swayze. Not that I thought he was in a lot of great movies. Or was a super star. I just did. I was sorry to read over a year ago that he was diagnosed with incurable cancer. I was not surprised to see him continue to work.
