SORRY TO REPORT ... it grieves me deeply to have to write this story, but as you must know by now, my dear friend BOBBY DARIN died just days before Christmas. It had been nearly three years since he underwent open-heart surgery to correct problems that remained after a childhood of rheumatic heart problems. Then about 2 1/2 years later, BOBBY had dental surgery for which certain antibiotics were essential for patients who had had heart surgery. The antibiotics were not given to him, he contracted a severe blood infection, and from then on it was all-downhill. He died following another open-heart operation, to replace the non-functioning valves which had been installed in the original surgery.
What especially grieves me is that I had known BOBBY since we were both kids starting out in the business and I so vividly recall how even then he used to confide to me the fear he'd never live to 40. BOBBY DARIN, a dear heart, a gentle person, died at 37...
