FSU's most famous alum Richard Simmons dead at 76.

I think this is a "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" threads,

 

Rivalries aside. Richard had a positive impact on many people over the years. Kudos to him for living life his way. May he rest in peace

 

I think Burt surpasses him as the most famous fsu alum.

 

And like Simmons did for others Burt’s work helped me tremendously. As a teenager I learned to drive my 1978 Trans Am by watching Smokey and the Bandit 5,473 times.

 

Thought that was Pee Wee Herman?

 

I was 10 but I wanted to drive it too

 

Although he epitomized everything fsu, he didn't go there.

 

Never take a shot at anyone who did a lot of good and little if any harm.

Richard Simmons was a very outgoing celebrity who lived a private life.

He kept his private life out of the public view. Especially, out of the media.

In a nut shell, Simmons did not let his private life define him.

As far as his public life, Simmons was very positive, outgoing, cheerful, and very helpful to his friends and strangers. Recently he made an announcement on Facebook that he was a supporter to the Wounded Warriors Project. Evidently, he had a lot of love and respect for our Veterans.

Rest in peace Richard!

 

Actually he did go to FSU. And, he graduated with a degree. In Art, if I remember correctly.

 

My comment was about Pee Wee Herman, and he didn't go to fsu. He went to Boston U.

 

Reynolds was definitely a ladies' heart throb and oddly a Mark Spitz look-a-like:

 

RIP

 

Don't pick on Pee Wee.

He was pretty funny.

 

Meanwhile Keith Richards is currently on tour. Is there anything we can learn from that?

 

Alcohol, cigarettes, and heroin top prancing and preening in red & white short shorts.

 

Lee Corso is up there too…

 

I read somewhere that he and Sally Fields split up because she caught him in bed with a man. (Richard or Pee Wee?) Just sayin'.

 

Only among college football fans.

 

It was easy to pick on Richard Simmons when he was at his flamboyant peak, in tiny shorts and "sweatin' to the oldies." But looking back on his life, he did so much to help people and never complained about people mocking him. He was a great man.
