Twitter is the place to go to find out news on the latest dead celebrity. Case in point, Jack LaLanne, who died this week at the age of 96.
Some of us recall LaLanne from his television appearances where he promoted a healthy lifestyle and the importance of physical and mental fitness. LaLanne was an inspiration to thousands (if not millions) of people over the years. It is fitting that he be remembered fondly and only mocked a little bit...he likely would have laughed along with everyone else. He was known for having a good sense of humor to go along with his excellent physique.
Check out this list of his amazing accomplishments then read what Tweeters have to say...
