Harold Kushner, rabbi who wrote the bestseller When Bad Things Happen to Good People (as well as a few other books).

Olympic gold medalist Tori Bowie has died at 32.

At first I thought you meant this Robert Patrick.

Took me a second, too. Thankfully, the T2 can not truly die.

He can, too! They melted him, just like the Wicked Witch of the West!

Petr Klíma off to the great penalty box in the sky.

Rosie’s Bar is closed for good now

Eileen Saki. 21 points. Doubt anybody had her, but maybe a MASH themed list?

I have the MASH list and she was not on it.

I’m sorry for your loss.

I just found this for 7 points for myself:

It is 2023 and I am in a tie with a couple other players for 23rd place.

Former MLB MVP and 3-time World Series champion Vida Blue has died, leaving 27 runners on base.

That is the number of outs a pitcher has to get in one complete game – he missed his last game.
