RIP: To remember those lost to us, whether close or at large

[AmLitHist]

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.

Roger Whittaker.

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.

For those of us "of a certain age", everybody's mother just loved that guy.  Him and Nana Mouskouri.

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.

Then we can dig it.

R.I.P., Mr. Roundtree.

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.
