Jacques Chirac, former President of France and quintessential Frenchman, bids au revoir to the mortal coil at 86.
Former Bellator/MMA fighter Katy Collins dies at 32 after suffering an aneurysm.
The former guitarist for Morbid Angel, Richard Brunelle, has died at 55…
Joe Wilson, the former husband of Valerie Plame, whose 2003 op-ed pointing out that the Bushies used shoddy intel to justify the Iraq War led to the Bushies’ retaliating by outing Plame as an intelligence agent, has died at age 69.
But here’s the cool thing about him:
I remember hearing that story at the time of the 1990-1991 Gulf War, but never made the connection to Wilson when he and Plame were in the news in 2003 and afterwards.
Rob Garrison, best known for playing Cobra Kai member Tommy in the original Karate Kid and its sequel, has died at 59.
Jose Jose, The prince of Hispanic romantic songs passes away at 71.

Busbee, aka Michael James Ryan, Grammy-nominated songwriter and producer, has died at 43.
Shuping Wang, whistleblower who helped expose China’s rural AIDS and Hepatitis C crisis (largely due to the government’s mismanagement of blood banks).
Kim Shattuck, lead singer of The Muffs, has died at 56 after a 2-year battle with ALS.
Diahann Carroll, dead at age 84.
His coffee is now black.
Ginger Baker; that one makes me sad (and not just because he wasn’t on my list).
eschereal gets on the board with Baker, and Spiff adds tp their total.

I don’t play this game, but for clarification are the three columns “Points, Picks, and Unique Picks?”
Comedian Rip Taylor, confetti-throwing regular on 1970s game shows, dies at 84
That’s it.
Just three months after Rip Torn.
RIP
RIP, Rip and Rip.
Sorry. I put him on my list in order to keep him alive. It has been working for me for several years. Had to know it would fail sooner or later.
