For someone who also grew up with the antics of the Captain as well this is a pretty hard loss to take indeed.

Don't have much else to say, so here is a few videos in tribute to the life of Lou Albano

Doing the Mario

The Goonies R Good Enough

Girls Just Want to Have Fun.

The only time I saw him was when was Mario in the Super Mario Brothers Super Show!. Until recently, I had no idea what he looked like when he wasn't playing the live action role of Mario. He will be missed.

I'll be honest, I don't know who he was. But no matter, it's always sad to lose another beloved character of entertainment. May he rest in peace.

Everyone should tie their beards with a rubber band now :-(

No! Not Lou Albano! He was awesome, I was a fan of him (mostly from the SUPER MARIO BROTHERS SUPER SHOW LOLZ), so it's sad to see him go...

At least the good thing is he lived a good, long life, and died naturally, the way we should all go down.

Even so, I'm gonna miss him...

I had no idea who he was until the Mario Bros cartoon was mentioned...and I didn't know until now that he was in the "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" video. A sad loss, goes without saying.

I never saw anything with him in it, but it seems like a big loss.

Also, great avatar L.G.
