Re: Randy Meisner in the Press
This is so very sad. I'll definitely keep him in my prayers.
Re: Randy Meisner in the Press
Thanks Austin. I just heard about this but I hadn't got over the shock enough to post it here. Its terribly sad and my thoughts and prayers go out to him. I knew he wasn't doing well but I didn't expect anything like this.
Re: Randy Meisner in the Press
As most of you know the HC lineup is my fav and Randy is my favorite bassist in the Eagles.
It's very sad and I will keep him in my prayers.
Re: Randy Meisner in the Press
I just read this on Facebook as reported by radio station 100.3. I was very upset to hear this news. I heard that he has not been doing that great, but he is too young to be suffering from Alzheimer's & dementia. This is so sad. Very upset tonight.. Prayers going out to Randy & his family..
Re: Randy Meisner in the Press
Unfortunately these diseases have no age boundaries. My thoughts and prayers are with Randy and his family during this difficult time. (This news is especially bittersweet, coming when it does. We're leaving tomorrow for a trip to Ohio for a memorial for my Gram who passed last June 22nd. In addition to her cancer she also suffered with dimentia.)
Re: Randy Meisner in the Press
this is such upsetting news...I have been playing their first CD today and thinking about that original lineup so much today...then to hear this...hurts a lot...my prayers and thoughts are with Randy and his family... this may sound corny, but these guys have been such a part of my life...I feel like they are family...and when they are hurting..I hurt...can't stand thinking about anything bad happening to any of them...
Re: Randy Meisner in the Press
Such sad news. Having trouble processing this. I have no words....... I will pray for him and his family.
Re: Randy Meisner in the Press
I woke up to an email this morning with the link that Austin posted. This saddens me so much. I have sent an email. I hope it gives his family some comfort to know so many fans are thinking of him.
BTW--Whitney, you were the first person I thought of when I saw this.
Re: Randy Meisner in the Press
Oh my, what sad news. I will also keep Randy and his family in my thoughts and prayers.
Re: Randy Meisner in the Press
Oh man. My dad has dementia. That's so hard on both the patient and the family.
Randy was my favorite Eagle for quite some time. I still love listening to him play. My thoughts go out to Randy and his family at this difficult time.

I have been doing & thinling the same things. Very sad & disturbing news. WE, you are so right. This disease is particularly hard on both the person and their family. I will be praying for them.
Re: Randy Meisner in the Press
While it isn't really a surprise it is very sad news. I hope Randy & his family are able to sustain each other through this.
Re: Randy Meisner in the Press
I hadn't heard anything about this until now....how very sad...:-(
Re: Randy Meisner in the Press
This is so sad, as I love Randy and his voice. Prayers are definitely going out to Randy and his family.
Re: Randy Meisner in the Press
Randy will be in the thoughts of Eagles fans everywhere. I knew his health wasn't very good, but I didn't realize it was Alzheimers. I wish him the very best.
And when I read this, whitcap was also the first person I thought of.
Re: Randy Meisner in the Press
I'm on the ferry from Ireland to Wales and I finally have some time to take a long look at the board. I am so terribly sorry to read this. Perhaps the History of the Eagles DVD relies on older interview footage, as this report makes it sound like it's progressed far. This is awful!
Do we have an outside confirmation of his condition from a source that does not simply repeat this information?
P.S. I made this into its own thread because it's such big news.

[/QUOTE]
We do not. I haven't been able to find a second 'source', nor have I been able to determine if a fan page for a radio station knows what they're talking about. But, we have heard before that he was in delicate health and at his home.
