Agreed, Both have had long, solid lives. AS Jimmy's health has failed over the last couple of years, I would assume that many thought he would be the one to pass first. He has been in hospice care in the home for a few months or more too and she was for only a few weeks.

Henry Kissinger, world-shaping diplomat who was revered and reviled, dies at 100.

He came to be seen as one of the leading diplomats and international relations intellectuals of the 20th century. But he was also one of the most singularly reviled public figures of his age.

Me: “Well, you win the Tom Smothers look-alike contest”.
Bar patron: “Well, I am Tom Smothers”.
