Car Talk's Tom Magliozzi Dies

Tom Magliozzi, one half of the wisecracking Car Talk duo known as "Click and Clack the Tappet Brothers," has died after complications from Alzheimer's Disease. He was 77.

Car Talk Executive Producer Doug Berman sent this note Monday:

"I have the sad duty to report today that Tom Magliozzi, one of the hosts of Car Talk, passed away this morning due to complications of Alzheimer's Disease.
"Tom's been such a dominant, positive personality amongst us for so long that all of us in the public radio family — and I include our millions of listeners — will find this news very difficult to receive."

That is sad - that show was one of the reasons I listened to NPR.

Those guys were great.  I knew they had been running reruns for the past 2 years, but I never realized that the reason was illness.  It is great to see all of the love for them from NPR and the media at large.
