R.I.P. Ed McMahon
Ed McMahon - the nation’s most famous sidekick - passed away last night and today’s entry is written as a tribute to a man with great talent. When I got old enough, I’d stay up late with my Dad watching The Tonight Show which was sometimes followed by the old B-rated movies on another channel. You know… The Blob, The Birds, The Frogs. Johnny Carson, Ed McMahon, and the movies were so much a part of my growing up years.
Many people are paying tribute to Mr. McMahon, but he’s also known for something else entirely real estate related. He put a face on people who are facing foreclosure during these difficult economic times. He had medical issues like so many others have had. These problems kept him from working like so many others have experienced.
I felt great sympathy for the man who had experiencehis housing difficulties in the glare of the public spotlight. I hope you rest in peace, Mr. McMahon. You’ll be missed.
