Does it seem like anyone with any talent in the entertainment industry has died within the last 12 months or so?

I was gonna say "what an ugly fuck". Then I looked into the mirror! I'm almost as hairy as that dude and we have similar belly's. Yikes. I remember him in wrestling. He came off as a big dummy. I guess that was his act. For me it's more natural.

R.I.P. Bill Paxton, 61.

I worked a few times on Training Day last year. Bill was awesome. Huge football fan, and a very nice guy. He will be missed. RIP

I remember Paxton on a metal detector show. He was super excited about what the detectoring team could uncover on his property. He seemed like a fun guy to hang with.

Sounds like another good guy goes too early. At least for everyone else.

The death cert on Paxton was that he died of a stroke, 11 days after having a heart valve replacement and aorta aneurysm repair.

Jeez, you'd think that they would be pumping him so full of blood thinners that it would be impossible to have a stroke. His circulatory system must have been a mess. Too bad. I really. Liked him as an actor.
