Death does not take a Holiday.

A friend said this to me,

Live every day like it's your last, and one day you'll be right!

Thanks, I remember seeing this several years ago.

They weren't famous, but my Dad, my last Uncle, and my last Aunt all passed away in January.

All three of them would have enjoyed that quote.

IIRC, Alaskey used to do a really good Jackie Gleason, and one time on Super Password, Bert Convy asked Joe to do the impression. Joe set up Bert for the punchline by repeating (in Jackie Gleason voice),"I'm the king, and you're nothin'!" Bert never caught on no matter how many times Joe fed him. Bert just kept saying,"That's great!" And it was. R.I.P., Joe.

That's a bummer. I love EWF, but White had been sick for a long time.

Death has really turned it up a notch recently.

Edit: Orpheus beat me to it.

BMX Legend Dave Mirra Passes Away At The Age Of 41
http://uproxx.com/sports/dave-mirra-dead/

According to the authorities, Mirra’s death is being treated as a suicide due to “an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.”

I wonder if it's even possible(depending on where he shot himself) but I would be interested to know if he may have suffered from cte.

Sorry LTI...another loss in the Wrasslin World. Man...if you think about it, it's almost been as bad to be a wrestler as it is to be a 60+ musician these days.
