I just showed this video to my DH a few weeks ago, and it even made him cry.    Iz's brother also died, I believe, of pretty much the same causes.

Skippy died of a sudden heart attack; IZ died in the hospital of respiratory failure, but I think both ailments were co-morbities of their obesity. It's just so sad when they could have been switched and lived. Although, they may not have been willing to do the surgery; Hawaiian culture is that big is beautiful.

I have always loved his version of the song and I listen to it all the time on my ipod - it makes me tear up. 

It is a sad story  that he was taken from us at such a young age.

Oh I love him!  I love "Over the Rainbow" more then anything (even though David ruined it by pretending to "weigh a pie" in the chorus rather than "way up high" for those not in the know).

His story made me feel miserable when I read about his death.  His poor baby is growing up without his beautiful voice guiding and educating.  Very sad.
            

RIP Mickie aka Happychick.  You will be missed deeply.

Snort ~ Well then David would love IZ mix of Somewhere over the Rainbow and It's a Wonderful Life. IZ screws up the pronunciation of chimney several times. Still, it's my favorite IZ recording.

 His daughter is 23 years old now, and a mother herself.  She has 5 children.  Til this day, she mourns his death.  It has been very rough on her.

 I am a huge IZ fan!  My family on my mom's side is all in Hawaii.  IZ and his brothers have been loved for years and years.  It is indeed a very sad story.  From what I understand, IZ gave just gave up in the end.
