Actor commits suicide

Actor Wyatt Knight committed suicide in Hawaii. Tommy Turner of the Porky's movies of my teenage years, chose to end his life in Hawaii according to a statement from his family. He'd been undergoing radiation treatment for non Hodgkin's lymphoma for the past 5 years or so and just couldn't take the pain anymore according to them. He'd had a bone marrow transplant in 2003. He wanted to die in a serene place. His family supported his decision. He was 56.

The last picture I saw of him he had long flowing white hair and a white beard. I couldn't reconcile that it was the same person. Rest in peace, Mr. Knight. :(
 
He delived that classic line from the movie.

Hi I'm Paulie the Penis. And I just love to have fun. Ha Ha Ha.
