  1. Sad as it is to say, probably for the best, alzheimers is horrific to suffer through. Doesn’t change this being a great loss for whatever is left of journalism these days.

    The worst part of getting old is everyone leaving before you. He had a good innings

  3. He was the iconic Australian, I always say until he was on TV Australia wasn’t really ‘Australian’

  4. >His family requested privacy and suggested fans “kick a football, enjoy a hearty bowl of pasta, plan your next adventure to somewhere intriguing, or ask a curious question you think needs answering” in Negus’s honour.

    All class.
