Did Freddie Know? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Does anyone here know if Freddie knew that Jack had cancer or not?
This may be totally off the wall,but i just wondered if when Freddie was going through such turmoil if he thought what his life would be like without Jack and that added to his pain?
I wonder too if Freddie ever knew that Jack had left Freddie in his own will.
I thought Jack knew he had cancer before Freddie passed away but maybe he didn't.

If I'm not mistaken Jack's bout with cancer happened years after Freddie left us.

Thanks for the info. I know that Jack passed away in 81 four years after Freddie and i just wasn't sure if he was ill earlier than that.If he was he certainly didn't let it stop him from entertaining all of us as Ed-That takes real strength of charecter and talent!!

Yep, Jack passed on in the early 80's not long after CATM went off, maybe a few yrs later. I think if Freddie had been living when Jack died, he would've just cried his eyes out & been devastated. How I wish they had both lived.

If memory serves me, Jack was not ill until long after Freddie had left us. I am sure it would have been a very emotional time for Freddie had he been here. We all know how broken hearted Jack was when Freddie died. They had a connection that was so strong, it even shone thru in their performances. As I did watch part of the E! Story, I recall Dusty saying it was like Jack and Freddie had been father and son in another life..... I couldn't think of a better way to put it. It was clear that they had a genuine affection for one another.
