awww...don't know who he is, but I will pray for him and his family
...lets hope his age is on his side for recovery..
DAAAAAAAANNNNNNGGGG.....DATS MESSED UP......YOU I HOPE U MAKE IT THRGH....TOUGH MESS....SMH.......
Cheated on with,an left his wife of many years for, his daughters best friend, who in turn screwed around on him with a younger guy, then Schimmel was all broken up about it. Boo-Fricken-Hoo. Got Cancer and now this...Yikes..he has some **** to answer for on the other side.
He posted this on Twitter 5 hours ago
"The rumors of my demise are greatly exaggerated. Stay tuned"
Somewhere Howard Stern is laughing because he's that kind of guy.
This jerk cheated on his wife with his daughter's friend. I feel no sympathy.
HIS BEST WORK WAS THE ON AIR ARGUMENTS HE ALWAYS HAD WITH HIS DAUGHTER JESSICA ON THE STERN SHOW. NOT THE SAME DAUGHTER IN THE CAR ACCIDENT. JESSICA IS 32 NOW. DAMN, TIME FLIES. SHE WAS LIKE MID-20'S OR SO WHEN SHE USED TO PHONE IN TO THE STERN SHOW ALL THE TIME ABOUT HIS DAD'S CHEATING AND HER BEST FRIEND MELISSA DATING HER DAD AND MARRIED HIM.
I hope he pulls through. Regardless of what some of you posted showing him in a bad light, I felt he was a kind hearted person. He was at the Baltimore improv several years ago when my Brother, who was also a stand up comic, suddenly died before going on stage to do his show. Mr. Schimmel gave the proceeds from his show to my Brothers' widow and three small children. My thoughts are with him and his family.
A good man who fought many battles, including Cancer. Best wishes, Bob.
This is so sad! I have a sister who is 19 and a younger sister who is almost 10....it scares me every time my middle sister drives with my dad in the car. This guy's kids are going to be haunted by this tragedy for a long time. My thoughts and prayers go out to this guy and his family. Stay strong!
i don't care what he has done in his life. My prayers goes out to him and his family.
