I enjoyed watching him on 60 Minutes every week and even though I may not have always agreed with his views, I liked his straight forward way of presenting it. I very much respected the man.

My favorite Andy Rooney quote:
“It's paradoxical that the idea of living a long life appeals to everyone, but the idea of getting old doesn't appeal to anyone.”
