Andy Rooney, 92, died this morning from complications of the "minor surgery" he recently underwent. He was unique. R.I.P.

So sad! RIP, Andy. He was definitely a character.

I just saw a CBS morning show special on Mr Rooney. He just retired about a month ago. He was a unique and great journalist. RIP Mr Rooney!

Great man who will be sorely missed! He also will go down in history as the man with the bushiest eyebrows!

I will miss his unapologetic honesty. I'm glad he had such a fantastic life. May we all be so fortunate.

I always enjoyed his pieces at the end of 60 Minutes.

The eyebrow pieces...the jowls pieces... the "Have you ever...?" pieces.

I know. I know,but I couldn't help it.
I've just now slapped myself.

No way! I somehow totally missed this news.

My parents were faithful 60 minutes watchers. I feel like I grew up with him.

Sadness.
