Mr. Spencer, 58, played Leo McGarry, a veteran politician who in recent months had become a vice-presidential candidate on the series about a Democratic-run White House. In parallels to Mr. Spencer's own life, Leo struggled with alcoholism and suffered a massive heart attack over the course of the seven-season drama. He won an Emmy Award in 2002 for his work; he was nominated five times.The show hasn't been as good as it used to be, but, man, it just ain't gonna be the same show without Leo. I remember John Spencer all the way back to the mid-80's when he played Tommy on LA Law. Great actor then, great actor now. An even greater loss.

A great loss even though WW sucks, as previously noted. ;o)
Another great loss was Richard Pryor...for anyone who grew up in the late seventies and the eighties, he was a comedy icon. Although he had not been in the public eye much lately due to his illness, he will be missed... :o(
