Bob Talbert, who wrote a daily column for the Detroit Free Press for 31 years,
died today at the age of 63. Talbert's columns ranged from thoughtful
ruminations on his own life (including an alcohol problem in the past) to
random, free-wheeling lists of comments on contemporary life. He was a big
booster of local businesses, restaurants, and artists, lending them support
with his columns. He was a major presence in Detroit media -- not only through
his newspaper work, but also through his appearances on radio and television.
Talbert entered the hospital in August for bypass surgery, which was followed
by a burst duodenal ulcer. He died of these complications this morning. He'll
definitely be missed. You can probably find more details about his life and
death at www.freep.com
