Nooooo!

I knew he had dementia which must have been really tough on his family and friends, my family had a rough time with my Dad's dementia.

All my condoleances to his family and the rest of the Pythons.

RIP Terry Jones.

Weird thing, his imdb entry,last I looked, showed cause of death as "dementia". So, even in passing he is making jokes.
