Now that was comic genius. _________________ wizzerd's not heer any more, mrs torrance im shadow i live in wizzerds head redrum! grrr!!! hahahahahaha

I have more memories from the talk shows and what-not. A real TV treasure.

Share some of your personal memories of Soupy, if / when you're up to it... and everyone, don't forget to post memories on his Retropedia page..! We've just done a blog post honoring Soupy, too, including his re-telling of the "send green paper" incident. Feel free to share it with your friends.

NostalgiaTV Member Since: February 2006 Contributions: 1775 Gold Stars: 114 View User Posts	Re: Soupy Sales has died Posted: Fri Oct 23, 2009 2:56 pm Central Time Dear Mat Selnick, Yes! I feel Soupy's lost very much..I knew him as far back as the late 1980's. I did a phone interview with him and we became friends later on. But..he was more than my friend..he became like a uncle to me..and his lost is very painful to me. I know that his lost is equally painful to his wife Trudy,to his two sons Tony & Hunt,to his grandaughter and to his brother Mr.Jack Supman. (Milt Supman was Soupy's real name..not Milt Hines) If I cry..I'm simply showing how I feel..because I do have a heart...and I do cry for people that I really care about. It may offened some people..but..I don't feel that there is anything wrong with someone showing that they can and do cry..for those that they love and care about! Again, Thanks for Your Reply and you kind thoughts! Kevin S.Butler Formerley"Nostalgia TV!". Last edited by NostalgiaTV on Fri Oct 23, 2009 7:37 pm; edited 1 time in total
