Title: Farewell To The Pieman...Soupy Sales
Post by: twyacht on October 23, 2009, 06:14:11 PM

Most younger folks won't have a clue, but a great comedian from a far gone era has died. I watched him as a kid and a natural talent for humor was a true gift for Soupy Sales.

Born in North Carolina, he probably holds the record for pies to the face. He got Sinatra good..

RIP Soupy.

As a former Detroiter I always had "Lunch with Soupy".  My deepest condolences to Pookey, White Fang and Blacktooth.

As an old detroiter (my dad always said that detroit was a good place to be FROM!..  in Maine now...), fairwell to soupy..  I have the claim to fame of being born in the same hospital (in detroit) on the same day as Soupy's son.. 

wasnt there somthing about a white fang?  kinda remeber that.... 8)
