Knowlton Nash

[Büge]

A sad day for all newswatching Canadians over the age of 20.

I'm just glad he didn't live to see the dismantling of CBC.

[Mongrel]

Donald Levine, the man credited as the original creator of GI Joe

[Büge]

Maya Angelou.

[Joxam]

;_; I'm so sad right now you don't even know. Time to get a new tattoo.

[Mothra]

[Thad]

Chester Nez, last of the original Navajo Code Talkers.

[Mongrel]

I'm not sure if anyone else here recognizes the name, but Rik Mayall just died suddenly.

[Büge]

Casey Kasem.

This year is brutal.

[Brantly B.]

Kasem had an excellent run. There is no sorrow in his moving on.

[Thad]

No indeed, it's a relief. The guy was in poor health and his family was fighting over him. No way to live; glad his suffering is over.

[Büge]

Stephanie Kwolek, the woman who invented kevlar.

[Thad]

Eli Wallach, age 98.

He was in a shitload of movies but you probably know him as "the Ugly" from The Good, the Bad, and.

[Mongrel]

Nooooo. :(

The greatest character of the greatest western of them all.

(Sorry Arc, whereever you are, I still choose the Good The Bad & The Ugly over Once Upon A Time In The West, albeit by a rather small margin).

[Thad]

And Terry Richards, best known as the swordsman Indiana Jones shoots.

[Thad]

Bob Hastings, who our generation probably knows best as Commissioner Gordon on Batman: TAS.

Damn he was good. Like most everybody from that cartoon, he's my definitive version of the character, the voice I hear in my head when I read the comics.

And for everything I love about that show (and there are a fuck of a lot of things I love about that show), the relationship between Batman and Gordon may be my single favorite thing.

[Mongrel]

Tommy Ramone, last of the original Ramones

Geez, that's a terrible survival rate. The Ramones' heyday may be longer ago than we might like to admit, but it wasn't THAT long ago.

[Mothra]

Live fast, die young.

Johnny Winter
