That was so touching. He was such a great man. He wasn't a womanizer, he wasn't a drinker, never drank. He loved all people from all backgrounds all races as he was brought up. I love when he told that story. And meeting his wife on family feud. Intelligent funny loving.

Richard Dawson showed what a man should be. Caring, not afraid to cry, not afraid to show emotion. To reach out and help. RIP Richard and little Nicole.

Other than Bob Barker, Richard Dawson was also THE best game show host of them all!!! I remember watching both Richard Dawson & Bob Barker both doing their thing every weekday afternoon when I arrived home from school in 1973 and 1974. This was when Bob was hosting "The Price is Right" @ 2:30 pm & when Richard was a panelist on Gene Rayburn's "Match Game" @ 3 pm (CT). Richard Dawson (& Gene Rayburn) was a class act & he's still missed. R.I.P., Richard Dawson & Gene Rayburn. R.I.P. to Gene Wood, too.
