In reply to the discussion: Kenny Rogers Dead At 81 The singer-songwriter "passed away peacefully at home from natural causes," [View all]Mr. Ected
(9,670 posts)20. I met him around 10 years ago....it was a surreal experience
He was selling one of his Atlanta condos and my office handled the escrow. He came in with a small entourage of attorneys and was wearing a jogging suit. Years of plastic surgery had altered his facial features, and it took a few moments to really identify him. But then he smiled - and kept smiling - and spoke with us, and that beautiful Kenny Rogers voice was unmistakeable. For a few minutes we all got to hang out with him, and he was a kind, gentle soul with heart and humor. I wasn't his biggest fan, but that day I became one.
Rest in Peace, Kenny.

As the words in the song say. "And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep."
