Roy Scheider Remembered

Beloved Father, Husband, Sharkhunter, Spaceman

I
must confess that I’m saddened by the news of Roy Scheider’s passing,
but frankly I am shocked that he lived to the age of seventy-five. That
Roy was able to lead such a long and fruitful life, despite his
reckless nature and devil-may-care attitude, is a tribute to the man’s
strength and more likely, his luck. The way Roy Scheider lived on or
near the edge, I am truly amazed that he didn’t get himself killed
years ago.

While you had to admire Roy’s heroism and bravery, you have to agree
that he had no business hunting for great white sharks in the Atlantic
ocean, despite the risk to the good people of Amity. He was damned
lucky that the first shark blew up, and what was he thinking using
himself as sharkbait trying to get a second great white shark to chomp
down on some electrified cables?!!! Roy, seriously, you should’ve been
lunch on at least two occasions.
