With all due respect to Larry Hovis, I don't think he counts. The three I mentioned were/are still celebrities.

Zevon had a top 20 album and an VH1 special on this month
Ritter has a hit TV show
Johnny Cash just one an MTV video award

Larry Hovis, while funny on Hogan's Heroes, wouldn't count along these three.

And who's Edward Teller

"Ritter has a hit TV show "

Which was a spin off from 'Man Abut the House,' a British sitcom wherein the guy was always trying to bed the gals. Ritter's role was feminized to gay city to save the American sensibilities. Imagine a guy chasing gals. Shudder. An insipid teleplay perfectly cast with an insipid male lead. Ritter was awful to watch, but RIP anyway.

Nuclear physicist? Atomic bomb? I had no idea any of those guys was still alive; combination of radiation and smoking was a killer.

A nuclear physicist, and along with his ideological opposite Robert Oppenheimer one of the best known of those who worked on the Manhattan Project. Teller is also know as "The Father of the Hydrogen Bomb", and a leading proponent of SDI, or the "Star Wars" system.

He's the reason you're not speaking Russian right now. He was one of the most brilliant men of the 20th century, falsely maligned by the leftists and communists in the U.S. for a variety of reasons (pointing out that communists were infiltrating our nuclear weapons program, creating 2nd and 3rd generation nuclear designs allowing smaller nuclear devices, etc.)

This thread is devoted to Johnny Cash; who rightfully deserves such a memorial. But it is a terrible shame that Teller, who may have very well helped save the human race from the eternal slavery of communism, wasn't at least equally honored. That even many "conservatives" don't know who he is (or that he died) shows just how controlled the media and education organizations in the United States are.
