[Mitsuru]

Paul Teutul Sr, of Orange County Choppers has died of Pancreatic Cancer on 9th June 2011, he was 62.
Complications worsened over the days that he was admitted to the Orange County Hospital.

He certainly was a character, and fun to watch.
RIP big man you will be missed

I would'nt be so sure of this.

Apparently there has been no official conformation that "Senior" has passed away.

and Neither "Junior" Or Mikey has stated as such on there relevant web pages.

Rumors persist that Paul Teutul Sr. passed away from complications related to pancreatic cancer. Thus far there is no confirmed news report from any verifiable source. Orange County Choppers (the company he owns) has made no statement nor has Discovery Networks (who produce the cable show American Chopper). Further, two of his sons are on Twitter (Paul Jr - @WhereIsPaulJr and Michael - @MikeyTeutulWG) and neither have said anything regarding losing their father. Actually, Mikey has made two tweets within the time frame that Paul Sr. is supposed to have passed. Either that makes Paul Jr. and Mikey totally heartless or the rumor that Paul Sr. passed away is a stupid hoax promoted by people who will believe anything they read on Facebook and blogs as

This is taken from the "Mikey Teutul Snr Fan club" on Face Book and is a direct quote from Mikey himself:

Considering that Paul Snr was suppose to be suing both his sons for a rumoured $1 million each and all that arguing they did was for real and continued when the cameras were switched off there was really was no love between them.

So I guess it's of no real news that both Mikey and jnr havent expressed any sorrow if this news is correct? - probably a huge amount of relief at the thought of the legation passing means more in their lives right now?

Wouldn't be ironic if OCC was to fall into the custodianship of Mikey and Jnr now?

Anyway, Bernard Cribbins got a gong - now there is a nice man that deserves news coverage.

[MG Mal]

Very true!.

Bernard Cribbins deserves it too.

Mind you Brucie got his Knighthood as well, now although I have always believed he deserved a little more recognition for his works...........

Was it decided on his works, or on the media push for him to have one?

Merged these two topics - no need to lock IMHO as the picture is clear enough from this thread.
