Actually, it turns out that we compared notes and we met in the 1980s at a series of parties of past…Read More stars that Donald O'Connor held around his birthday for years, and came up with some photos of us talking together with my friend Marsha Hunt at those gatherings at a house in Sunland.

Dan Carasso was a demonic hate driven Godless sociopath, he admired Hitler, Franco, and Limbaugh!…Read More He was abusive, cruel, sadistic, inhuman, failed as a husband, and father--he made his wife Ida very unhappy, as with his three children, he was abusive, verbally, emotionally, and physically--being a miser, went into rages, harassing his daughters, for their entire adult lifes-- Rosalie and George Willard--- hated Dan--when they died in an airplane accident--Dan got their money by default---and never gave them a decent memorial---their ashes,rest in one urn in the patio-- he made sure that all were disenherited--with a paltry monthly allowance, Ida was left with five dollars in her purse---the victum of two strokes caused by toxic cough syrup,that he gave her to take- with severe brain damage, memory loss, and dementia--Where is the love here? The house became a "GOP Crack House" where the vultures would come for funds, new cars, free meals, as they knew Dan had poor judgement, and appealed to his ego.Dan spent his weekends out, lurking around, and would come home in late after cheating on Ida--Dan lived to hate,: women, democracy, jews, gays, blacks, and embraced the the muslem culture-----dan was a failure, as a husband, father, and human being,he even hated his own heritage--being jewish--- and in death goes into the black void of nothingness,where Hell keeps demonic souls, who remain in darkness, and never come back ---Thank God he is gone, karma wins

He was not a nice man to his family. I dated his daughter Camila during the late 60's and I remember…Read More the first time I called her. He grabbed the phone from her and slapped her and wanted to know how I met her. When I told him I met her at a dance, he said she was introduced to it by a left-wing Jew and even brought home a Mexican once. He once parked in a shopping center parking lot watching his daughters car that was parked there and chased us in his truck. In later years when taking to him he seemed glad to hear from me. I think he may have calmed down in his older years and was surprised how he now wants to bring Hispanics into the Republican Party. I don't think he was Jewish as his daughter told me they were at one time Catholic.

Dori and I only knew one another from singing karaoke together. I wish I had the opportunity to get to know her better, but I know she loved her children more than anything...as everytime I had the pleasure of seeing her, she spoke of them. I pray with everything in me that they find the monster who took her life and caused so much pain for everyone who knew her. She touched so many lives with her big heart, beautiful smile, and unique laugh. Dori I know you are still out there fighting for justice, as your family and friends will continue to do for you here on earth. You will truly be missed! Keep singing in heaven!!!

The link on the left of the page when you get there is called: Airwolf Hawkes Rainbow!. Go to the bottom of that page, and click on Ernest Borgnine On The Bus video, then see part 2. If you are prompted to sign up to see the links, it is a short sign up, so please do so. You will see a side of Ernie, that really only his close family and friends have gotten to see. The other page is called The Love Of Airwolf, there you will see pictures of Ernie, as well as some pictures of him in Airwolf. Ernie played Dominic Santini in the Airwolf series that he loved so much making as an actor.
Go here: http://www.playitcity2.com , the other URL to the site is:
http://www.artistworldentertainmentgroup.com .
Ernie will be missed greatly, we all are praying for his family. Rest in Peace Ernie, as I can feel the tears of Heaven with a smile, as Ernie is welcomed into Gods Kingdom. We love you so much Ernie!. Thanks for all the memories. I just can't believe you're gone my friend.

One of his questions was: What is the one thing you do not like about California? and I answered him loudly the San Francisco Giants, as I was and still a Dodger Fan. I also got to attend the Dick Clark show in New York City that same summer, and gave him a 10 foot Beechnut Spearmint Flavor Ific gum rapper chain, which was the thing to do.
