Legendary coach. An even better man. RIP Coach Chaney.

OMG

RIP sir.

Poor Screech. RIP

He made a lot of people laugh. May he RIP

My brothers, who watched way more than me, are devastated. The kids have watched a lot as well (one of our go to DVDs for van for long trips) but the news didn't affect them at all... they're cold

I just saw that Hal Halbrook died today. Some people knew him from his on-stage performances of Mark Twain. I remember him from before that because of some show/movie on television.

Not to speak ill of the dead, but I'll take Leachman Tyson Holbrook as my law of threes. Sorry Screech.

As John Allen Paulos says: It always happens in three's. If you wait long enough.

Captain Sir Tom Moore has passed. A hero in the truest sense of the word. For those not familiar with his story it is worth a look. We should all be harnessing a little of his energy these days.

I did read about him. May he rest in peace.

Heroic indeed. RIP.

I'm glad he experienced some recognition and adoration before he passed, but very sad that it was, in the end, from COVID

Too much. May they all rest in peace.

It's odd to feel surprised when a 100 year old person dies... But this guy seemed kind of immortal.

May he live another 100 years in people's memories, passed from generation to generation.

Although I know he had quite the career, I think of him as Dixie Carter's husband, who used to come on Designing Women in a recurring role and then later took over as the lead on the Perry Mason movies after Raymond Burr passed. I do know him from many other (better) things, but that's always how I think of him first as that was my introduction to him.
