This is how I feel about it, and frankly I have felt very badly for him for something like 6 years now, ever since he first went public and announced he had this disease. I have actually been hoping his suffering was short-lived, but 6 years is a long time to go through this.
Charlton Heston was a gentleman of the old school, and one of the last of our great larger than life actors. I met him in person three times over the years and he was very cordial to me on each occasion. When I sent him a personal letter one time to his home after he'd revealed he was battling prostate cancer, he took the time to actually write me back with appreciation and grace. He was known too for honoring all autograph requests, whenever fans would send photos to him at his California home. This is a day I have wanted to come for several years, and now that the reality is here, it is still a shock and a bit uncomfortable. Peace to you, Sir.

"To his loving friends, colleagues and fans, we appreciate your heartfelt prayers and support. Charlton Heston was seen by the world as larger than life. He was known for his chiseled jaw, broad shoulders and resonating voice, and, of course, for the roles he played. Indeed, he committed himself to every role with passion, and pursued every cause with unmatched enthusiasm and integrity.
We knew him as an adoring husband, a kind and devoted father, and a gentle grandfather, with an infectious sense of humor. He served these far greater roles with tremendous faith, courage and dignity. He loved deeply, and he was deeply loved.
No one could ask for a fuller life than his. No man could have given more to his family, to his profession, and to his country. In his own words, "I have lived such a wonderful life! I've lived enough for two people."

How true. In my lifetime I've watched many relatives and a few friends wither away to nothing by cancer. It is a horrible disease. But Alzheimer's...God!
