In the 60s and 70's Winkler was "The Fonz" someone we looked up to, and
admired. Later he played parts in movies and continued to entertain his
generation, (meaning the so called "baby boomers"). Being from that
genertion, I know I always looked up to him as a good actor, comedian,
and entertainer.

In recent years, with Winkler being around the age of 70, he's selling
out his whole generation by doing commercials and acting as a spokesman
for reverse mortgages through Quicken Loans. Which is little more than a
scam to rob senior citizens of their home. Sure, they claim you can
still live in your home, but read the fine print and you'll soon
discover the scam.

SHAME ON YOU HENRY WINKLER!

You have sold out your whole generation, and YOU are one of us seniors,
but we all know you wont need a reverse mortgage. You're probably making
enough money just from doing these scam commercials, not to mention all
the wealth you made from your acting career. You just lost me as an
admirer and fan. You're a crook. I wont be watching any of your movies
or the re-runs of "Happy Days" series anymore.






Although I personally have nothing against Winkler...as a Milwaukeean I
was kind of miffed that they put up a statue of him downtown.

He is nothing but an actor and I would have preferred they put a statue
up of someone from Milwaukee who actually did good. Out of a city of a
million or so I bet there are two or three good people here.

I have no problem with old actors/politicians trying to make a buck but
have been very leery about reverse mortgages.

They say they are insured but the insurance is to the issuer not the
borrower.

My brother looked into it and you also have to pay a big property
assessment fee and maybe others. Dave Ramsey says you are better off
down-sizing if you can no longer afford to live in your house.
