[@zovalentine7305]

Rest in powerful peace Aristotelis Savalas 🙏 21 January 1922 ~ 22 January 1994⚘

[@susanvalentino4868]

There will never be another Telly. He was the last real man. I miss him every day. I love ya, baby. Then, now, and for all time.

[@brn2wld]

Yeah, he was a real man.

[@CheapAssHack]

Clint Eastwood is still here.

[@antonioallen1763]

A man's man.

[@martinruhlingiv6623]

I sat with my dad every week to watch Kojak. My dad had to have a loli pop during the show

[@CrackerAL]

Wow your dad with lollipop watching kojak lol that's cool a very memorable moment in life I'm sure

[@CrackerAL]

In school they used to call me kojak because of my name

[@josephperkins4080]

While there was no 🍭 here,I always watched it with my mon as a wee kid

[@JohanLebbing]

The reason why he sucked on a lollipop during Kojak: to help him to quit smoking.

[@frankdenardo8684]

@@JohanLebbing He smoked cigarettes and cigars.

[@UberKrispy]

Telly was pure class. Never be another like him.

[@paulbedford7260]

I'm 56. I watched him as Kojak and loved it. Forty years later I was caring for my Mother and we watched the entire series of them again and love every minute. More though was my forty years in business, I count myself as lucky because in those years I worked for several bosses that were like Kojak. They were tough, took difficult decisions, always stood by their men so long as their men stood by them. It was magic. I think about those days every day. Now I'm thinking about returning to work, yes, aged 56. I must be an ass hole. I bet the modern babied folk couldn';t take being dressed down, sorted out, like I was all those years ago. I know he was Telly Savalas, but to me he'll also always be Theo Kojak. The boss I'd follow through the gates of hell.

[@nickgreek6449]

A GREAT MAN ,A TRUE GREEK.. LEFT A MARK OF QUALITY BEHIND ..

[@CrackerAL]

So true

[@zeth8300]

We are in 2018 and i cant believe he is still gone :(

[@roshansubah2646]

kojak is the answer to james bond. my father never missed kojak show in 70. from pakistan

[@rafaljas9323]

Telly played in the bond movie On Her Majesty's Secret Service as Blofeld with 1969

[@deegreen7868]

"Tweet, tweet, baby! I'm a cop in a cage". There was no one cooler, than Kojak!

[@BillytheKid-kb5nu]

[@josephborrero3202]

[@CrackerAL]

Yeah old school baby

[@frankdenardo8684]

Who loves ya, baby

[@antonioallen1763]

All that heavy menace brought to creating one of the most iconic cool anit-heroes. A real man, who had street smarts, cunning, cool and swag.. Right up there with Richard Roundtree's John Shaft.

[@STHFGDBY]

It's hard to believe he's dead 20 years...

[@Peter1Europe]

25 years... It's even harder to believe.

[@josephperkins4080]

Its still hard to believe he is gone 😭😭😭😭

[@Chrille5782]

[@roseweinstein4256]

Rest In Peace Kojak and George

[@flowerpower6216]

[@sharronford9062]

watching Kojak now. decided to Google him, didn't know he been gone that long. RIP Telly WHO loves you baby? We do..

[@alfredjcarpenter]

I just saw Kojak on DVD. Always love Telly.

[@hivicar]

This makes me recall that back in the early eighties I was selling framed Asian art door-to-door in Manhattan I got invited in by this middle-aged Chinese lady. She liked the stuff. I asked her about a signed blow-up of she and Telly on her wall, she proudly told me that she was the female lead in an episode of Kojak, called "The Chinatown Murders." Have you seen Telly in "Pretty Maids All in a Row," already almost in his Kojak character, leading a West L.A. High School murder investigation? That was just a couple years prior to the start of "Kojak".

[@faydavies6851]

Watched every Friday night when I was a kid with my mum dad and youngest brother

[@robbiethepict2783]

Back in the day when adults on screen made a positive impact on children.

[@biophillie]

Miss him..

[@RADIUMGLASS]

Other sources say he was born in 1922, Here they have it as 1924.

[@LIZZIE-lizzie]

KOJAK isn't on the KZbin channel.

[@dianelawrence1087]

Search Telly for his ghost story. I remember him telling it on a talk show. Very interesting

[@greenbeagle13]

A man's man, for sure... ❤❤

[@RADIUMGLASS]

It would have been interesting to see him live another 25-30 years.

[@sumof8952]

They don't make them like that anymore 😪.

[@chrisferguson5381]

First movie I ever saw him in was Terror Train I think it was!

[@HouseholdDog]

They were known as Kojak pops for a while.

[@gianpakasa]

25 years? Really???

[@frankstrzelecki4591]

So was he born in 1924 or 1922? There is always that discrepancy associated with the Greek calender. One of the best recognized faces on TV of all times.
