:( He was awesome. He made Brassed off, among so many others. One of those actors capable of sending chills down your spine, even in a comedy role.

Yeah, I liked him. Too bad he's gone.

Just read that character actor Bill Erwin died. He was 96.

This is a big loss. Dick Winters has died. There are so few of them left.

John Dye from "Touched by an Angel" died. I went to high school with him & we were in a production of The Sound of Music. Naturally, I'm a few years older

He was 3 years younger than me.


Also, Margaret Whiting died. Great singer. And VERY gay friendly. :-)

Owsley "Bear" Stanley, who fuelled the 1960s flower power generation with LSD and worked closely with the Grateful Dead, has been remembered as a man of "enormous influence".

Stanley worked as a sound engineer for the band and is remembered for the millions of LSD doses he manufactured at his lab in San Francisco, which helped to kick off the psychedelic era.

The 76-year-old died on Sunday in a car crash close to his home near Cairns, in far north Queensland. His wife Sheilah was also injured in the crash but has now been released from hospital.

Joe Morello, drummer of the Dave Brubeck quartet. Seems weird to even mention one death while Japan is going through this craziness...

Sadly, it proves the old military saying, "One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic".
