Johnny Cash had a song for this. It was called "Son, Don't Go Near the Water."

He made me laugh on the Cosby show almost as much as Cosby himself.

I knew that he and Bill were very close during the making of the show, almost another father/son relationship. I felt so sorry for him when the scandal broke. It was hard on fans like me to be so disillusioned, it must have been 100 times harder for the kids he worked with who looked up to him.

I was hoping it was another hoax, but alas it's true. Feel for his family.

That is very sad. It is so hard to lose someone so young.
