TV's revered curmudgeon signed off CBS's 60 Minutes for the last time on Oct. 2. During his final segment, Rooney reminisced on his "lucky life." "I've done a lot of complaining here, but of all the things I've complained about, I can't complain about my life," he said. The broadcaster spent 28 years on the program, and after a month into retirement, passed away at age 92 from surgery complications.
