Joseph Heller still dead, still at 76 (and other celebrity deaths): RIP Hank Aaron and Willie Mays
Not a celebrity, but my Dad died yesterday. 89. I made it to GA to say goodbye about 12 hours before he passed. It was a long, interesting life that was well-lived. This morning, my mom, who is 82, joked, what am I supposed to do now, one of those dating apps?
They were married for 63 years. Crazy.
So sorry :( I was crushed when my Father died at 94. Losing a parent is hard but ineveitable. My Mother is still going strong at 98 but we know it is only a matter of time. Still she seems like she is destined for 100+
For many of us, our parents are/were the real celebrities.

Very sorry to hear, Dom, but what lives they had and have!

This is sad. I really miss the days when three were adults in journalism.

if he was married to a character for 63 years, I suspect he had a good and interesting life.

our physical umbilical is numbly cut at birth yet we are still connected
apparently the second severing is felt because it underscores eternal seperation from parental support
wish peace to your father memory
also suggest expecting later life reactions to be created from poignant reflection off of unexpected emotional flood water
Warren McVea died, Texas hs football legend and later a KC Chief on those early 70s Hank Stram teams.
Old men in San Antonio still talk about his exploits to this day.

He Tex & Katie will never get out, though if there’s ever been a psychopathic albeit completely brainwashed & drug-addled young mass murderer who’s truly remorseful and “rehabilitated” to whatever extent possible,

I was going to post this, but I thought, How many of us watched the original Lassie?
Probably quite a few of us. I was always waiting for a dog to run at me barking because some kid fell into a well.

Prunella Scales, 93. A couple of years ago I went on a boat trip down the Thames from London to Southend, and I was sitting in the bar minding my own business when she and her family walked in and sat down at the next table.

by any faulty measure Prunella Scales and John Cleese were electric together
towering over almost every other comedic duo of any time phase and period yet still grounded in their own career arc flash
no other words at the moment
Diane Ladd, 89
Emmy-winning and 3-time Oscar nominee of films such asChinatown, Alice Doesn't Live Hear Anymore, Wild At Heart, and Ramblin' Rose, ex-wife of actor Bruce Dern, and mother of Oscar-winner Laura Dern.
This actually shocked me.
The much more progressive USA Today retained steely-eyed focus.
Richard Bruce Cheney was evil on the most basic and banal levels, and he never tried to hide or obfuscate it, like his mentors did with Vietnam and sundry foreign electioneerings & assassinations.
Trump’s foreign policy is The Marshall Plan II in comparison.
Unapologetic to the very end, to his credit. Eventually, even Hillary had to abandon him. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/poli...
Burn in Hell, Dicky Bird. Say hi to Big Ears & Bobby Mac for me.
This is sickening, and frankly & sadly surprising.
