RIP but given his condition (Alzheimer's), happy he's moved on.

Damn. This type of news rarely has any real effect on me since I don't actually know the people but I've enjoyed his work for pretty much my entire life and he seemed like a decent fellow. RIP.

Sad, but if he was suffering from dementia like had been reported for a few years now, I'm glad he's at peace.

Sad to hear he's gone. But glad he's no longer suffering.

Bummer. I used to watch Columbo with my mom when I was a kid, and Murder By Death is one of my favorite comedies.

Great idea, might do that after watching him now in Woman Under the Influence.

Mr. Falk; loved your work and wish I had taken the chance to tell you.
