I know and this is a sad day from this gatorade lover...

He makes a mean ade... we'll miss him, but his drink will live on forever.

I don't think it would be in good taste to pour a cooler of his 'Ade on his casket, like what has been done to countless coaches...

R.I.P., and I'll drink to this man's achievement!

I dunno, DT. He might appreciate that and see it as the ultimate sign of respect and victory! His Gatorade was the first of all the "sports drinks" to make it big. It's still pretty good stuff considering all of the competition's products that have come along over time.

May he rest in peace. At least Sean Taylor can have a swig when they get together!

Not the Gatorade Man!!! Yes, and pouring a cooler of gatorade on his body would definetely be...unorthodox.

I still see it as the best sports drink to come out ever.  None are as good as 'Ade.   Yes, R.I.P. Robert Cade, a.k.a. Gatorade Man.

I want to like Gator Ade but in my condition (an empty suit) anything I eat or drink tends to go straight through me!

A drink meant to improve atheletes, now often chugged by bored overweight children. A little ironic. He changed the beverage industry forever, whether or not for good or bad. Rest in Peace.
