Actor David McCallum, aged 90. I really enjoyed him as Dr. "Ducky" Mallard in NCIS, and I'm old enough to remember him as Illya Kuryakin in The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

The Last Farewell.

I remember seeing commercials for one of his albums on late night TV--way back before TV was 24/7. It was generally a sign to start closing out the party.

We missed Brooks Robinson's passing. I had his name on my glove when I played 3rd base in Little League way back in the olden days.

Hard for me to think of her in her 70s!  I guess that I did not think she was so much older than am I.

His passing was definitely not missed here in Arkansas.  The news was a big deal in Little Rock.
If in this life only we had hope of Christ, we would be the most pathetic of them all.  But now is Christ raised from the dead, the first of those who slept.  First Christ, then afterward those who belong to Christ when he comes.

Matthew Perry?? 
In a hot tub maybe? 
I hope that the news is wrong.  He was 54..  I just turned 59, so it is hard to hear about people younger than am I die suddenly.
