I don't know...While "rag" magazines like the Enquirer tell bald-faced lies, a lot of times they print half-truth stories. Based on that and based on Turnbull's saying that he heard about Sirico having an operation from a different source, there may be at least
some legitimate question concerning his health. Man, I hope not. The show wouldn't be the same, to say nothing of losing a fairly good actor. But to quote Peter Seller's character, Chancey Gardener, in
Being There, "It happens to all people."
