Actor John Ritter, the son of Country Singer Tex Ritter, best known as Jack Tripper in the sitcom Three's Company died of a dissection of his aorta last night. He was 54 and would have turned 55 next week.

Three's Company was one of my favorite sitcoms and this is very sad news. So damn young too.

Although I haven't really been watching his new sitcom 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter, I did see him in March when he hosted the first annual TV Land Awards.

RIP John.
