I'll miss him, he could always crack me up. At least there's a lot of his stuff on You Tube.

I liked him in McHale's Navy, but even more with Don Knots in Apple Dumpling Gang.

No worries he must have a few more lives to go.

I had never heard of him, but upon googling, found that he made some great stuff in his life. He impacted the world in a positive way---what more can we expect from our lives?

As I was editing this post(1.61803 beat me to the 9 lives comment) I began to reflect on why we (here at EvC) post obituaries of notable people in the first place.
There are many whom we overlook. Here are several *we* overlooked in May:
Eric Talmadge Imagine having a heart attack while running to stay in shape! But he accomplished a lot with his life.
Gunther Cunningham They go on and on. The ones whom we know we post about. When our own Buzsaw passed, we collectively mourned for someone we knew only through the internet. The same with our beloved Queen Asgara. It caused me to reflect this morning. Faith and I are involved in apologetic discussions defending God, eternal life, and infinite eternal purpose, but the fact remains that we too will die someday. And what will our obituary say?~Reflections. Edited by Thugpreacha, : broadened scope of reflection this morning Chance as a real force is a myth. It has no basis in reality and no place in scientific inquiry.
