Yes, he DID have diabetes and he DID have too much sugar.

Poor guy!!! I liked him a lot. He was quite a funny jolly guy in the few movies that featured him!!

I read earlier this year, that his parents also, are or were obese as is his three children. Wonder if any of them look like him at all. I heard that he was a big ole jolly teddy bear and loved everybody.

He kind of reminds me a lot of my brother who also died from the same thing, only he was an alcoholic as well!
