The Bandit has passed
It seems that Burt Reynolds has passed at 82.
Keep going Bandit!

Dang.. Jupiter Florida's boy gone.
I may have to go to his old restaurant next weekend in tribute. I am out of town this weekend otherwise I would go now. I will try to grab some pics and tell the story, its pretty cool. Burt was a cool guy, did a lot for the local community. RIP Burt. Not a Burt feature, more of a Don Rickles feature, this is more about Burts laugh, it was the best.

I remember seeing his face on some of the commemorative FSU stadium cups, back when we briefly lived in Tallahassee. I think his nickname was "Buddy".

Let's be honest, Burt solved the ultimate question: Ginger or Maryann.
He did both

Burt owned an estate nearby in Loganville, GA years ago. The home is now the country club of the development that was built later on after he sold.
