    Cokie Roberts, the lady who rivaled Wolf Blitzer for the coolest name in news, died recently. She was 75.

      I had no idea that she was ill with cancer, and though she was working to her very end. 75 isn't that aged, but I also had no idea that Ric Ocasek was 75 either. Apparently he died in his sleep after surgery, had some arteriosclerosis, and it was his former wife (or just estranged...they broke up last year) that tried to wake him.

        Good bye to actor Sid Haig. Not a name that some are familiar with but he showed up in a lot of different roles.

          He used to coach youth soccer in the league I was in. We played against his team(s). He even coached at a camp I went to.

          He was a star in our town

                  Don Larsen went to Point Loma High, and passing at 90 is an achievement!. Sorry to hear about Coach Wyche as well, he had a heart transplant , but melenoma got him. He had a great offensive mind.

                    R.I.P. Neil Peart, 67, Drummer and lyricist for Rush. Maybe the 2nd best rock drummer of all time, after John Bonham. I'd rate him even with Keith Moon. Passed on Jan 7, in Los Angeles.

                        R.I.P. Kirk Douglas, 103. One of the great actors. If you haven't ever seen "Paths of Glory" or "Lust for Life", they show his great range beyond "Sparticus"

                          Also

                          Orson Bean, 91. To be honest, I knew who he was, but not sure why he was famous, other than being on game shows a lot.
