In Memory of Soupy Sales ...

With all due respect, I hate to say it but I just saw on the news that Soupy Sales passed away last night or today. I spent a lot of happy moments watching Soupy on daytime TV over the years. Does anybody know if they're showing his re-runs anywhere?

May he rest in peace.

Started out on a Detroit station in the 50's. One of his biggest "oops" moments when he jokingly told all the little kiddies to go into their dad's wallets and mom's purses then send in all the little green pieces of paper to the station and thousands did.

Soupy used to get kicked off the air on a regular basis but always came back....one time for the little green pieces of paper request...another time he said "took my girlfriend to the baseball game yesterday..I kissed her between the strikes and she kissed me between the balls"
