Was shocked to hear first thing that Patrick Swayze, aged 57, died last night of pancreatic cancer.   I know that as a 'biker' it probably shouldn't bother me, but I doubt I will ever forget his amzing performances in Dirty Dancing and Ghost.   He was only diagnosed in January... and he continued to work and fight. A fine example of a man.                                                                                                                                                                             

2 films I'd gladly pay never to have to sit through again...

But that's not to detract from this indiscriminate bastard disease making off with yet another victim.

RIP Mr Swayze.
                                                                                                                                                                             

Yeah ... I was young and impressionable when I saw them! Then I went through a revival when my daughter got a copy of Dirty Dancing! Some films just never go away!                                                                                                                                                                                 

I remember years ago, my 6 year old cousin Katy watching Dirty Dancing on a video after it came out,  and being mortified my 'cool' aunt would let her   Anyway doesnt matter if your a biker, granny, chav, punk, child, someones death affects us all in some way, he's left his wife, kids, maybe grandkids, to a disgusting  disease, which according to tv earlier, he fought all the way, and didnt want to die.  I was shocked by how the disease had ravaged his once good looks, but no matter what pain he was in, he still carried on working/acting.  He is a fine example to us all to carry on whatever life throws at you, and not feel sorry for himself, tho no one knows what he was like in private.   RIP Patrick Swayze                                                                                                                                                                             

RIP Patrick Swayze my thoughts and best wishes go to his family and friends                                                                                                                                                                             

A true man's man as well as being a ladies man "played the sex symbol and the villan with equal virve" never "played it safe" with taking roles that would make lesser men hide behind their "status". Allways came accross as a true gent who did not think he was anything special or that he should be treated any differant to his fellow man. R.I.P Patrick

strangly listening to dirty dancing soundtrack at the mo...and didnt even realise he had passed away today..i knew i musta put it on for a reason...dancing around the room doing housework and remembering the film which still makes me smile...what a girly! 

I loved his films and his sex appeal. I also respect his long term happy marriage 34 years. His wife and family must be gutted. Thinking fo them and thank Mr Swayze for entertaining me on occasions as I am not a great film buff.   RIP.                                                                                                                                                                              

RIP much respect for a fine actor and decent man.
