Columbo made it to 83 while smoking. Quite an
Report thisaccomplishment. I didn’t have any brothers but
I DID HAVE two younger sisters. I emphasized “DID
HAVE” for a reason. My yougest sister died at 51
of a rare lung disease. My other sister died at
58 of a massive heart attack in her sleep. Both
were heavy smokers. Mom, dad, and both sisters
were killed by smoking. Mom had emphysema and wore
oxygen 24 hours a day. She was so addicted my
younger sister told me mom use to sneak up to her
trailer to smoke a cigarette. Mom smoked Lucky
Strikes. She struck out. Those damnable cigarette
companies took my entire family. If I had a good
Jewish New York lawyer I’d sue them for all I could
get and give the money to the children of both
sisters.

I was on a jury, and I noted how “Columboesque” the defense attorney was. The lawyer had a wrinkled shirt, crooked tie and glasses, and generally looked disheveled and incompetent.
However, the defense won nearly every motion and won the case. True story.
Here’s to Falk and Columbo, a memorable man and the character he made live for millions all over the world.
Peace,

One more thing….
I like the fact that Lt. Columbo never carried a gun. Actually, he would be a great role model for an aspiring investigative reporter.

An “everyman” genius in character and life. I will not forget him.

Columbo was and continues to be an important influence/presence in my daily life.
I hope to hell that no one EVER tries to remake it with another actor.
RIP Peter Falk.
