General "RIP" announcements that might be of interest

[Hondo Duke Lane]

WaynamoJim,

You are a wealth of information. Thanks for the list. I am not familiar with the ones you mention, but it is sad to see the classic people from a classic age go, even if they are not the major actors of the motion pictures era. They filled in the roles that made the major actors portrayed. May they rest in peace.

Cheers

[WaynamoJim]

Well, I'll tell you Hondo, in a few short months, I'm going to be 62. And now I find that you notice people passing on more than you did when younger. I read the obits in the paper to see if people I've known over the years have died and when I hear that some celeb from my younger days passes on, I jump on it. It's like my era is fading away and I'm very aware of it.

Paul Harvey passed away today at the age of 90.

I always tried to tune in Paul when I could, often had news tidbits you never heard anywhere else

Paul Harvey passed away today at the age of 90.

I just learned of Mr. Harvey's death . . . it hardly seems possible, it sometimes seemed that he had been around forever, and would continue to be. His wife died less than a year ago, so it is not very surprising.

Sad, nonetheless. We really enjoyed listening to his daily "News and Commentary."

RIP, Paul Harvey!

The news will never be the same without him.

When I was working, I would be driving around on business and he would be on during that period and I would listen extensively. Loved his delivery and subject matter. R.I.P. Paul Harvey.

Natasha Richardson Dies at 45

I remember her from the Parent trap remake....

[dukefan1]

The old saying, "Life is short" came to mind when I heard she passed. It's a shame when anyone passes, but at a young age seems sadder. My thoughts and prayers go out to Liam and her family.

R.I.P. Natasha Richardson. This was a terrible shame. I suspect they will find a weak blood vessel in the brain was the cause - it could have blown at any time and though the accident seemed trivial enough, it was sufficient to trigger the event.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Liam Neeson and the rest of the family.

[Lt. Brannigan]

As Jay said, my thoughts and prayers go out to her family. Especially her children.

It's such a shame that Nataha Richardson passed away, may she Rest In Peace.

I hadn't heard that Phillip Carey and James Whitmore Sr. both had passed away-may they also Rest in Peace.

I too liked James Witmore best as Sgt. Kinnie. Now Battleground has no major stars still living unless were lucky that Don Taylor is still alive?

Update and correction: the last major star who was in Battleground who is still alive is none other than James Arness Aka Garvey.
