Andi
Yes, he was an Amazing man!! After the accident, he refused to put the horse, which caused the terrible tragedy down. Further, he told his wife, "I understand that u have needs that I'm Not able to satisfy, so it's OK if u date other men, go to movies, etc.^ Now his wife was one Heckuva Classy Lady too! She said, "No, I married u for better or worse til death do us part. My place is by ur side. And that's where I choose to be always." Furthermore, she died of lung cancer, but she never smoked!! Second-hand smoke killed her.

Laurie
He was also with Jane Seymour in Somewhere In Time—a GREAT movie!!!

Andi, Not necesarily, people get lung cancer who have not been exposed to cigarette smoke.
