This is a bit bizarre as I was just talking to my wife about if he were still alive or not yesterday.
I saw a commercial for St. Jude's Children's Hospital and commented that I couldn't remember the name of the actress in the commercial.
My wife said it was Marlo Thomas and commented that she was married to Phil Donahue, and the whole "Is he still alive? I don't know." back and forth went on. Then I "talked to my phone" (what my son refers to my using voice input for Google) to see he was alive and well.
