So it doesn't go away? My dad has been gone fifteen years. I told a friend of mine to hug his parents and tell them he loves them, since I can't do the same to my dad.
Condolences.
I remember you posting that because it was the same day my Grand Aunt Sally died.
Ormly Gumfudgin, aka, Clarence "Googy" Locke, friend of many actors, Hollywood columnist, chili cookoff organizer, Bazooka player extraordinaire and all around interesting personality.
I remember something that CS Lewis once said, The joy we share now is part of the pain we will feel later.
He nailed that one.
You have my condolences.
I remember Patrick McGoohan as the warden in “Escape From Alcatraz”, and he played Longshanks in “Braveheart”. Hard to believe it was the same guy, but the voice is unmistakeable.
I felt that way when Jimmy Stewart died.
The world seemed a little sadder that first Christmas after he died.
James Stewart was/is my favorite actor. I loved seeing the clips of him on the Dean Martin Variety SHow (found them on youtube). He was hilarious.
A real tearjerker.

The theme music from Piece Of Cake (Battle of Britain)was great too.
Bit of trivia but Edward Woodward's eldest son played one of the pilots in that mini series.
He was great in those pictures but he hit his stride playing Oil Billionaire Asa Buchanan, he made J.R. Ewing look like a piker. Asa operated World Wide. Boy I miss him and that soap from years past.
For those who are interested in a complete list from many years try http://www.einsiders.com/features/columns/apr07obituaries.php . Just look under the top header under “obituaries” on the top right, and click on the year you want.
Thanks, I had not heard of Piece of Cake, so I looked on You Tube, I have something to look at at work now and then when I have a few minutes:-)
Slightly off topic but have you seen the low flying Spitfire vid

alfa6 you are in for a treat. I have the whole DVD set of Piece of Cake. It is about 6 hours long. I am sure you can find parts of it on youtube.
That guy was lucky not to get decapitated.
