Molly Holzchlag, “Fairy Godmother of the Web”, author, web designer, and open web proponent.

Max Gomez, known for decades on NYC news programs as “Dr Max”, died after a long illness. Although over the years he discussed other personal medical issues on the air he did not disclose his cancer diagnosis. I didn’t realize until seeing articles after his death that he wasn’t a medical doctor. He had a Ph.D in neuroscience.

Stand-up comedian Geechy Guy (real name: Michael Paul Cathers), who beat Ray Romano on Star Search and was a quarterfinalist on America’s Got Talent, has died at 59.

He had often claimed to be the fastest joke-telling comic, with 676 told in an hour, at the Improv at Harrah’s in 2011. But Guinness World Records has listed English comedian Tim Vine (who set his record of 499 on October 7, 2004) as the official record-holder.

Former US Senator Lauch Faircloth has died a pointless death.

I’ve always been particularly fond of his Mona Lisa.

Soap Opera actor Billy Miller has died at 43. He notably played Billy Abbott on the Young and the Restless.

Folk singer Roger Whittaker has died at the grand old age of… (looks at notes, shuffles papers) …13 points for me, please.

Fairly well known Luke Skywalker impersonator “Fluke Skywalker” has died from suicide. John Stevens was his name. He was facing child pornography charges.
