Goodbye, Morley. You had a great run.
Yes he did!
Thanks, Morley! Always loved hearing from the Old Schoolers!
It's a shame he didn't get to enjoy his retirement.
Apparently he was in declining health these past few years according to TMZ. I am sure the retirement was because of this. I guess he knew he didn't have much time left. He lived life on his own terms! Have to respect that.
Man, those Sixty Minutes guys won't give up the money until they literally have one foot in the grave. Just like Andy Rooney. "Retire," then die. CBS would have done the network, those guys, and the viewers a huge favor if they had retired those guys twenty years sooner.
