I saw him on some cable TV channels and thought he might be 55 or so. Must have had one heck of a makeup artist.

RIP Sir. You are proof that wrenching keeps you young!

Like many have here already, I would never have thought he was but a lick over 60 - or I must be watching really old episodes.

Condolences to Friends, Fans and of course his family.

I think I'll go watch some classic episodes this evening
I've got tomorrow off, maybe I'll service a carburetor out of respect

Y'all missed seeing him do what he really loved! He hosted 'Tennessee Crossroads', a show that highlighted all the small towns and festivals and such, for 37 years for our PBS stations in TN. I thought it was neat when he was also doing the HP show block in the 90s as I got into cars.

He's a regional treasure and will be missed for sure. Tennessee Crossroads is going to keep going (supposedly) but it won't be the same.
