TRAGIC NEWS for Dick Van Dyke at 98 Years Old! 

Dick Van Dyke the great. We love his tv show with Mary Tyler Moore and the rest. He will never be forgotten. I hope he makes it to 100.

Love that man.. he's truly a great entertainer.

Great Actor. Been watching him on The Dick VanDyke show as a kid. He played Judge Carter Addison on Matlock. He was great as Dr. Mark Sloan on Diagnosis:Murder. I really hope he hangs in there and makes it to 100.

Such a wonderful man👍🏻💕

One thing I see in Entertainment when somebody who gets close to 100 people really root for that. DVD has been a fun person to root for.

He will never be forgotten ♥️ ❤️ in our hearts 💕 💞 ♥️ ❤️ 💖

An outstanding individual and an outstanding entertainer & wonderful legendary pioneer in the field of entertainment! ❤

He's an amazingly talented man. God bless him. ❤

He seems a wonderful actor hope he makes it over 100 ❤❤ loved him in Bye bye birdie, Mary Poppins, and Chitty.

He's one of the best of all times❤

Old, new and up in coming actors have to look at Dicks career and only hope to have a career as awesome and long as his. If they are wise, they talk to, listen and learn from him while they can!! Dick Van Dyke is an absolute legend. My family and I love him dearly❤️

Dick Van Dyke is such a wonderful person!!

Hope he makes it to December 2025! We thought Prince Phillip would make it, he didn't. We thought Betty White would make it, she didn't. We thought Joyce Randolph would make it, SHE didn't either! We need more Centenarians!

Not many talented people like him left, he was great in Night at the Museum

From the header, though he died for a split second. Then again, no one expects him to live to 100, hence the ridiculous 98th birthday celebration which was tailor made for a 100 year old.

So where is the tragedy

This is what happens when you get old.

he's living proof that an alcoholic can live a long time

False alarm no tragic news!
