I remember him all the way back from The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
He had a great career and acted into his later years.
RIP David. Thanks for the entertainment.

Brooks Robinson, a.k.a. The Human Vacuum Cleaner, arguably the best fielding 3rd baseman ever, winner of 16 gold gloves, passed away.

His stint in the minors before getting to the big league included a year playing for the Vancouver Mounties in I think 1958.
One of the classiest players or persons in sports.
RIP Brooks.

RIP Dick Butkus, one of the baddest MFer's ever to grace the gridiron.

R.I.P. Butkus. Old school tough guy with a sense of humor.

Yup, right up there with Sam Huff (of whom I never saw play) and Jack Lambert. RIP.

Matthew Perry RIP, thanks for all the laughs.

Loved him in The Whole 9 Yards, better physical comedian than he was ever given credit for. RIP Chandler.

He was a Seattle icon, then was befriended by Tom Douglass and co-hosted the Seattle Kitchen Show on KIRO radio. I'm no chef, but he gave me some great ideas and improved my skills. My biggest takeaway, make that pan HOT when you're trying to sear something. RIP to the Chef In The Hat, it happened too soon.

R.I.P. Carl Weathers. Rocky wouldn't have been so great without a believable rival and world champion.

Lots of great roles and work in Hollywood from Predator to Happy Gilmore to The Mandalorian.

RIP Wayne Kramer. IYKYK……

I'm not a huge country western fan, but I see where Toby Keith passed away. He was just 62.

Dang, RIP Richard Lewis. I always loved his relationship with Larry David on Curb. Lewis seems to be extremely loved and will be greatly missed

He had a great standup routine back in the day too. RIP Richard Lewis.

I just saw episode 3 of Curb Your Enthusiasm in which he and Larry had a conversation about putting each other in their wills.
A normal conversation but still a bit eerie.

A good comedian and he’s going to be missed.
RIP Richard and thanks for the laughs.

O.J. died but I don't think he deserves a RIP, at least not from me. Rot in Hell O.J.

RIP Dickie Betts. The Allman Brothers was about as good as it got for their genre.

Yep, me, too. Same goes for those scum sucking lawyers of his that would make a pact with the Devil to get their client off. I lost a lot of faith in our judicial system during that trial.

Wow, this one hit home. Bill Walton passed away from cancer at the age of 71. RIP.

He was a pretty controversial person in his younger days, less so as he grew older.

Absolutely! Great guy, great ball player! RIP.

R.I.P. Walton. I remember watching him come off the bench for the Celtics. He was a starter playing best 6th man on that stacked team.

I remember Walton talking about the time when he was in college and got arrested for laying down in Wilshire Blvd in downtown LA as part of an anti-war protest, creating a huge traffic jam. His coach at UCLA, John Wooden, drove to the jailhouse and bailed him out. As he was driving Walton home, Wooden said to him "Bill, suppose that your mother had a heart attack, and the ambulance couldn't get to her to save her life because it got held up in traffic. How would that make you feel?" Walton said that he was stunned, speechless, that he had never thought of that kind of consequence.

I saw UCLA play in Pullman when Walton was a senior. During the pregame warm-ups, I walked down to the breezeway from the court to the visitor's locker room, and when UCLA trotted off the court and to the locker room, I leaned my shoulder out so I could bump Bill Walton. I had to equal my cousin's claim to fame when she kicked the tire of the car the Beetles were riding in.

Walton had become quite a character as a color man for CBK games. He will be missed.
