Oh how sad

aww 

I've just seen the news and he died in Tenerife, funnily enough I walked past him and his wife on the Marina about 10 years ago.  

Oh, that's very sad. I read somewhere that him and Vera were going to do a one off appearance in Corrie as ghosts. 

Just seen this on the news, so sad

Sad news. I loved Jack and Vera in Corrie - were Bill and Liz Dawn not supposed to be reviving the roles for Children in Need, this year?

RIP Bill.

I'd read that recently, was it not going to be for Children In Need?

There you go Rexi.

Thanks Cinds

What a damn shame ...

Such a shock RIP

Bill Tarmey - Clive Dunn - ??

was it vince sinclair/st clair when he was at the dating agency?

i remember that as a kid and trying to explain to ma & pa why it was so funny

that was briliant

he was an actor, but could never have played anything but jack, cos he seemed so real

RIP Bill Tarmey, absolute Corrie legend..

I just had a thought ... won't they have already filmed the Children In Need special? I wonder if we will get to see it?

Aww RIP,Iloved Jack and vera in corrie.

So sad....

Clive dunn now Bill or Jack as he will be remembered...

Very sad

How very sad  I think he was a very popular cast member - has suffered ill health for years.

God Bless Jack

I remember that story line as a kid, and didn't Vera turn up on one as one of his blind dates?

If they have filmed it, I do hope we get to see it.  But being so close to his death, maybe they will ask his family if they want it to be shown.

Aww he didnt have that long to enjoy his retirement 

R.I.P Bill
