Patricia, Known Affectionately as 'Buddha'

Patricia was known affectionately as "Buddha" because she would often fold her hands on her belly. Al remembered his sister as a kind and loving person who will be deeply missed by her family and friends.

Loss of Family Friend Anthony Scotto

Just over a year ago, the Today star and his wife also mourned the loss of family friend Anthony Scotto. Scotto passed away on August 21, 2021, just one day after Al celebrated his 65th birthday.

Twitter Hoax Causes Panic

Recently, a trend on Twitter falsely claimed that Al Roker had passed away. This caused widespread panic among fans and loved ones. However, the meteorologist took to social media to assure everyone that he was alive and well.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Deborah Roberts, Al Roker, and their family during this difficult time.
