A great and funny man. Please rest in peace Mr. Falk.

Falk died at his Beverly Hills home on June 23, 2011. According to his daughter, Catherine Falk, the actor had been suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

If I haven't ever mentioned it before, I'll do so now.  I have every episode of Columbo on DVD.  Huge fan.  It was my nickname back when i was a LAN\WAN admin.

Not a good day.

I really, really hated to hear this news. It was expected, but still devastating.

I am probably the biggest Peter Falk fan on these boards.

I LOVE Columbo, so much so that he was my avatar before the Lego me. I have every season available on DVD of Columbo. I even have a 12" pose-able figure of him I made with the help of a sculpture from Mexico.

Here it is!

You will not. None of us will, except for a very old and dying Ziggy Stardust who will watch it through teary eyes as he remembers us all.

We always knew how and when he was going to die, the real interesting part was how he'd figure it out.

He sure was funny in Murder by Death. Probably one of my favourite films.

Hats off to Peugeot for a very nice tribute.

Forgive my very limited grasp of French, but it's something to the effect of;

A tribute to the unforgettable character of Columbo
