“Toronto Rapper Smoke Dawg Killed In Shooting Outside Nightclub.” Another young rapper not on my list bites the dust.
Gillian Lynne dead at 92.
You might not know who she was, but you know her work: Choreographing almost 60 yearsof British stage musicals, including CATS and Phantom of the Opera.
Perhaps I should concentrate on rappers.
Duke is now rolling that beautiful bean footage in doggie heaven (which does exist):

Irish character actor Derrick O’Connor has died, leaving behind 23 years on the table.
I really want to believe there’s a doggie heaven.
I believe it’s heaven mostly because that’s where all our assorted much loved critters have gone on before us.
Me too. I hope there’s bunnies for Dakota to chase. I miss her!
I have carried that flag nigh on two years now with no result. I despair!
Ed Schultz, former host of The Ed Show on MSNBC, has died at the age of 64. Reportedly of natural causes.
Also dead is Alan Longmuir, bassist of the Bay City Rollers, at the age of 70. He died on the second of July of a virus he picked up in Mexico.
“Sturdy” Steve Ditko, classic comics artist, dead with what I believe are my first 10 points of the year.
Good for 10 Points, a Unique Pick, and a spot on the leaderboard:

Former UCLA and Sacramento Kings player Tyler Honeycutt has committed suicide after a standoff with police. He was 27.
Tab Hunter-age 87.
Told my mom he died. She said he was a heart throb when she was in high school -the late 1950’s
Things not looking good for Elvis Costello. Maybe time to think of adding him to your 2019 list.
