He wasn't Jewish. His ex-wife, Rain's mother, was.

Rain Pryor was in the TV show "Head of the Class". That is just one of Pryor's priors.

OMG, what a sad shock that was to read, Legal. His 60th birthday would have been Tuesday, 12/20. I loved him on West Wing!

One of his earliest roles was when he played Henry, the boyfriend of English cousin Cathy in the Patty Duke show. He had several film roles and was also an accomplished stage actor. http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/features/20051216-1611-obit-spencer.html

That's so sad. He'd taken a leave of absence from his hockey job to be with her. I'm glad he had that time ...

I am in the Brantford area (Wayne's hometown for those who don't know) and it's quite a sad time for the family. Phyllis was actually hospitalized last Thursday with pneumonia which I'm sure did not help her cause. Her mother, Betty Hockin, was also hospitalized on Friday after suffering a heart attack. Betty is expected to be released in a few days. This family is so humble and well respected here. Walter and Phyllis still live in the home they purchased when they were first married and "Wally" (as he's sometimes called) makes time for anyone who may want to stop him to talk. I would post articles from our local paper but it seems they don't want to load our local take on the situation.???? They have a article in the real thing but not on the net. http://www.brantfordexpositor.ca/webapp/sitepages/

Colts coach Dungy's son found dead Sports Illustrated James Dungy, the 18-year-old son of Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy, was found dead in a Tampa-area apartment, police said Thursday. No foul play is suspected, but a cause of death won't announced pending an autopsy, said Vida Morgan, a secretary in the Hillsborough County sheriff's office. James Dungy's girlfriend found him when she returned to the Campus Lodge Apartments in Lutz, Fla., the sheriff's office said in a news release on its Web site. Police responded at 1:32 a.m. Thursday and performed CPR on Dungy before he was taken to University Community Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Tony Dungy has left the Colts and is in Tampa, according to NFL.com. The Colts (13-1) are at Seattle on Saturday; Indianapolis lost its first game Sunday against the visiting San Diego Chargers, ending what had been a perfect season. The coach and his wife, Lauren, have four other children: daughters Tiara and Jade and sons Eric and Jordan. James, their second-oldest child, was taking extension classes at the University of South Florida, Morgan said. [...] this is very sad if you're a sports fan. Coach Dungy is nothing but a class act and it's sad he has to go through this during the holidays.
