Sadly, Robert Goulet died while waiting for a life-saving lung transplant because of a serious respiratory problem.
My own mother died at home on Monday of serious respiratory problems as well, related to both acute asthma and emphysema. I'm personally totally devastated with her death only weeks after my dad's death in late July from a massive stroke also here at home.
Robert Goulet was a great sport, appearing in some funny cameo roles in films and a great singer. He was both talented and very funny.

I was a fan of Goulet. For all the reasons noted by JT.
Paul, my deepest sympathy for your loss. I disagree with you often but appreciate your civility. As often happens, when people who are married for a very long time seem to not be able to go on without the other. Hang in there buddy. Live to fight another day. ww

Wildwillie, thanks so much for your very kind comments. You're a very nice fellow. Have a great Halloween holiday.
I think that I'm also safe to say that we'll also both miss the campy and often funny antics of the the late great simger Robert Goulet as well.

That is sad news. I was a fan of Robert Goulet,
he had a fabulous voice.
Paul, accept my deepest sympathies for your loss.
I wish good things didn't have to stop, just the
bad ones.

I always liked Robert Goulet. That's too bad that he couldn't get the transplant he needed. Paul, my thoughts and prayers are with your family. I'm very sorry for your loss.

What a trouper. When he sang the Batman version of "Jingle Bells" at Bart's treehouse casino, we all shed a tear of joy.
Seriously, he was a real talent and his loss is ours as well.

Goulet did the singing voice for Mikey in "Recess:The Movie", and did a fantastic job on "Green Tambourine".
Paul H., you have my condolences as well.
