His cause of death was revealed; a stroke following heart surgery to repair an aortic aneurysm and an aortic valve replacement.
There’s no way to explain what he brought to the station, other than a certain Robert Osborne-ness. I doubt it can be replaced. The station will not be the same, just like Masterpiece Theatre has limped since Alistair Cooke left.
I hope they at least rerun his intros when they show movies they’ve shown before.
Legendary boxing trainer and corner man Lou Duva down for the count at 6 points.
Don’t have to get points to be happy about this one: Joseph Nicolosi, one of the creators of ‘ex-gay’ conversion therapy, is dead at 70.
Robert Waller, author of The Bridges Of Madison County, dead at 77.
F1 driver John Surtees has died aged 83.
He’s only dead because it was his choice to be dead.
Friends and family will gather in an attempt to convince him to be alive.
Do we know what camp they’ll be sending his body to?
I’m sorry for his family, but that was one over rated book. The movie wasn’t so hot either.
We happened through that area one summer. The bridges themselves are also overrated.
Ex-Cub Bill Hands, 20-game winner in 1969, dies at 76.
Drag. I saw him pitch when I was going through puberty in the left field bleachers at Wrigley.
So I’m trying to decide which Circle of Hell this piece of human excrement will spend eternity. I’m guessing number 8, Fraud. Not sure which Bolgia he’ll be stuffed into though. Maybe number 6?
That’s an odd place to go through puberty.
Controversial Australian political cartoonist Bill Leak dies at 61. Never liked his work myself.
Odd yes. But it was fun fun fun.
Would it be wrong to dance a little?
About a week late, but it hasn’t been mentioned in the thread yet:
The actress Miriam Colon died last week.
Possibly best known for playing Al Pacino’s mother in Scarface, but i associate her most closely with her role as cafe owner Mercedes Cruz in John Sayles’ fantastic Lone Star.
I’ve been dancing, so please join in! 
Survived by ex-Pirate Elroy Face.
