      Growing up we allways referred to him as Uncle Walter

      Just before my Grandfather died in 1979, Walter sent him an autograhed picture "To my cousin"

      Growing up in the 1950's and 1960's he was a trusted source of news and comfort

      Prayers are to our family members

              Ryan O'Neal, Farrah Fawcett to wed

              10:48 AM CDT on Monday, June 22, 2009

              Associated Press

              NEW YORK — Ryan O'Neal says he plans to marry Farrah Fawcett, who is struggling to overcome cancer.

              The 68-year-old actor says in an interview with Barbara Walters for ABC's "20/20" that he asked his longtime companion to marry him and "she's agreed." O'Neal says they will tie the knot "as soon as she can say yes."

              Walters' interview with O'Neal airs Friday.

              Fawcett was diagnosed in 2006 with anal cancer that has spread to her liver. The "Charlie's Angels" star and O'Neal have a 24-year-old son, Redmond.

              O'Neal says the 62-year-old actress is "fighting for her life," but despite her declining health, they will "absolutely" get married.

                        • If any celebrities happen to be reading this, I would like them to know that I would be willing to entertain the thought of accepting "contributions" from them in order for them to make my list next year.

                              Farrah Fawcett, whose stunning looks and blinding smile made her a pop icon of the 1970s, has died. She was 62.

                              Her spokesman, Paul Bloch, says Fawcett died Thursday morning in a Santa Monica hospital. Her 2½-year battle with cancer was depicted in the TV documentary “Farrah’s Story.”

                              TMZ.com is reporting that the actress' longtime companion, Ryan O'Neal, and Fawcett's friend, Alana Stewart, were with her at the time of her death.
