Wow, seems like some guys would always be around. He'll be missed, that's for sure.

He lived a relatively long life. R.I.P.

There will never be Moses as great. RIP CHARLIE.

In June 1998, Heston was elected president of the National Rifle Association, for which he had posed for ads holding a rifle. He delivered a jab at then-President Clinton, saying, "America doesn't trust you with our 21-year-old daughters, and we sure, Lord, don't trust you with our guns."
Is that not the greatest quote EVER??!!
