Another young life taken too soon.

Last weekend my Auntie Joyce passed away, she had cancer (I never knew), she was a very strong willed farmer. If something had to be done it was "lets get out there and do, cause no one else is going to!" I really didn't know her as well as I would have liked to, but I do remember lots of times she would tell me as I was growing up "there's nothing you can't do CJ!" Going to really miss her amazing attitude and hugs

[WalterB]

Sorry to hear that, Julie. My best wishes and prayers for you and your Aunt Joyce.

Leon Russell (Joe Cocker's pianist) has passed away. He was at The Concert too) ...

[WalterB]

Never really cared for Leon one way or the other. I guess he was a good musician, but a comment he made during the Mad Dogs tour put me off and I never got over it. Fare thee well, Leon.

Just saw this on my Twitter this afternoon...looks like we lost another friend. We met a couple of times at trade shows...always a very nice gentleman. He will be missed

Very sorry to hear of Bill Welch's loss. He was a good man, and always stopped by the VNA booths wherever we were. I remember maybe a year, 18 months ago, when I first saw him in his motorized chair. I didn't say anything of course, but he certainly appeared larger, and it bothered me a bit. We always chatted and exchanged emails a few times. I know the next time I get to a show I will be looking for him. But now I won't see him. Fare thee well, Bill. You will be missed. RIP.

Also I know nothing about WWE but what a shame that someone has to die for such a stupid reason as, "I don't need no stinkin' helmet." Well, I'm sorry, dear, but you do. Yes, we all are free, and bikers everywhere must abide by helmet laws. But, many states rescinded those laws because bikers felt that the choice should be theirs. I remember thinking that if you can require people to wear seat belts, you can requite bikers to wear helmets. Well, the bikers won, and so today, they continue to die from head injuries. What a tragic, stupid loss.

Another sad day at the passing of Adam West yesterday. The world was better because he was in it.

[WalterB]

I remember well the original Batman series. So campy, so fun. All that silliness, he was good. The king is dead. Long live the King. Fare thee well, Batman. And you, too, Adam. Thanks for the memories.

I was sad to hear about the passing of David Cassidy today. My childhood is catching up with me. May he rest in peace.

I was somewhat less sad to hear about Charles Manson. He'll be resting, but I hope it isn't quite as peaceful.

Bloody hell!
I can remember being a jealous teenager because all the girls either loved him or Donny!

[WalterB]

Well, apparently Jim Nabors has gone to his (big) reward. I, of course will always remember Gomer Pyle, such a bumbling, good-hearted fellow. Trying so hard and screwing up so badly, lol. The big surprise was when he opened his mouth and sang. I didn't care for that type of music. but the sound of his voice was pretty fantastic. In a totally different world from "Goollleeee," or, "Shazam!" Or "Surprise, Surprise, Surprise,." Gomer - and Jim - you will be missed.

Maybe now his victims can finally get their hands on him and skin him "alive."

In addition to Gomer Pyle, I always remember Jim Nabors singing Back Home Again in Indiana before the Indy 500 every year. Like you, Walt, not my thing, but oh my, what a voice.

[viper23]

Yes, he will be missed. Heard him several times at least when I was at the race over the years. They had the guy who sings the anthem before Chicago Blackhawks games perform 'Back Home' and he did a good job, but it's not quite the same. Jim's voice has now gone the way of former track announcer Tom Carnegie, who worked the race for decades.

Not sure of the circumstances, but news circulating on Twitter, it appears that adult performer August Ames has passed away.
