Celebrity death that bummed you out the most...

The biggest problem with being old, is your heroes, growing up, are even older.
The touchstones, people, places, traditions, we could always rely on to give us pleasure, and a sense of continuity, fade away.

Goodbye Mr Korman... and thank you.

This is, in point of fact, why I started writing these mini obits in the first place. I just wanted to share something of my respect and admiration for these people who have so enriched my life. As you may have noticed, these bits have become shorter and shorter with time. I have yet to decide if this is because it is just too depressing to ponder, or if my life is just so much better that I don't relate to death as much lately.
