Saw Dick Clark last night. It was hard to watch.
Thanks! Awesome list.
Let me be honest, there are a few names on there that I WON'T be missing. Molly Yard is a notable.
Actor in featured TV and movie roles dies in Chico
IMDb; Dee Pollock
Dan Rather??? Uh, well he did commit Career Suicide, but I guess that was back in 04---
Most Righteous Death Award for 2005.
I wasn't aware of Colonel Hackworth's death. No wonder he hadn't been opining on FOX recently. I knew he hadn't been on for awhile because he was getting too "out there" with his bizarre theories, but still wasn't aware that he'd died.
Saw Dick Clark last night. It was hard to watch. Yes, it was hard to watch. I don't know who put him up to appear, but I would have been happy if he just appeared, or showed his face.
When he couldn't keep the countdown straight, I cringed. But he still gets major props for having the courage to be televised. So all things considered, good job Dick!
I didn't compile the list.
marked and bumped
It was. But I understand he has come a long way. So, good job to him.
But I will really miss Luther Vandross and William Rehnquist.
You know he loved doing that show. Perhaps he was okay with the accomplishments he has made thus far, and was comfortable with how he sounded.
Kudos to him for being secure enough to do it. Most people would be too vain. I was proud of him.

About 20 years ago, the father of the family who lived in my house before me had a heart attack up in the attic and died. Left behind a wife and three young daughters. Very sad.
Today, New Years Day, I was up in the attic doing some work and pulled up one of the attic floorboards. A small piece of paper with some writing on it fluttered up from its hiding place. This is what was written on it.
I wish you a merry Christmas

This was the guy who died up there 20 years ago. Creepy huh? I think I'll hang around downstairs for a while.
I think it is a subtle reminder of our own advancing age, as well.
Kinda cool, kinda creepy. I think I would frame it. What a very weird coincidence. Hope you are not alone. ; )
Thanks for this thread...some remarkable people on that list.
You know when the hair stands up on the back of your neck? That's them.
