I always liked him.

Andy, sit back and let God take care of you for a while. You worked right up to the end.

Yes I just read about this, for me Andy was the best part about 60 Minutes. He always made me laugh in some way with his life thoughts. The only thing I didn't like about him were those hairy eyebrows RIP Mr. Rooney.

This is what he said about his bushy eyebrows: (from a CNN article)

On his bushy eyebrows: "I try to look nice. I comb my hair, I tie my tie, I put on a jacket, but I draw the line when it comes to trimming my eyebrows. You work with what you got."
