I am glad you shared this...Alex Trebek always seemed to be kind and caring; it is fitting that the less fortunate will benefit from this act of kindness.

I don't think anyone's comments are shameful. Some don't make more of something than what it is. This would have been a non-story if it weren't the person whose closet was being cleared. It's the same gesture I'm sure many, many of us have performed giving to many different charitable institutions upon the death of a loved one.

Yes, his family is continuing the tradition of giving. That's nice.

But we're just horrible for pointing that out. Apparently if you're famous everything you do gets extra credit. Some are just not that infatuated with famous folks.

And an extra halo @Lali1, @Etoile308 don't forget the extra halo...

It has been my experience that most people donate the usable clothing of their loved ones who have passed.  This is pretty common and normal.

I wonder why somthing like this is even news.

Agreed.

He was a good host on a tv game show, and I'm sorry that he had cancer and died from it, but people are falling all over themselves and acting as if he's a saint.

They are practically worshipping him.

I loved Alex and admired him for his wit and knowledge, but I think he also exhibits a total disconnect from anyone who is homeless.

@GrailSeeker 

Were you acquainted so that you would know that?

It's a nice gesture but not Overworthy of Merit in Heaven.  Our family donated our parants wardrobes as a matter of course.  I think most families do. 

I also hope the outfits with their matching acessories Remain unknown as to who they came from.  If it got out that the suit was Alex's It would most likely end up on ebay.  They will make a good impression for the people who do wear them.

Yes that's all it is-some sort of good news in these awful times. Has nothing to do with him being a celebrity or famous. Some people here seem to want to see it that way because of their intense dislike for famous people. That dislike is well displayed here all the time.

I judge people as individuals. Alex Trebek didn't see himself as a celebrity. He just loved his longtime job and his family. And seemed to be a kind caring person. I've never read a negative word about him, honestly. But whatever.

Good deeds are just that, but pick them apart I guess...
