June 22, 2008. The day that the world witnessed the passing away of a giant in the entertainment industry. George Denis Patrick Carlin passed away at age 71 due to heart failure. It was noted that he had a history of heart problems. It was that same Sunday afternoon that he checked in to St. John’s Medical Center in Santa Monica complaining of chest pain.
American stand-up comedian (and perhaps one of the greatest stand-up comedians), actor and author. A 4-time Grammy Awardee. He was famously known of “The Seven Words You Can’t Say on Television.” He did have some problems to face behind all these comedy and entertainment. But that never stopped him from making his way up the ladder. His contribution to the entertainment industry will definitely outlive entertainment itself.
With the laughter you shared to the world, God must have been proud.
