Legendary "Disney" songwriter, Richard Sherman, has died aged 95.

One of his ditties, take it away Dick.

Apollo 8 astronaute, Maj. Gen. William Anders, was killed in a plane crash,(he was piloting) he was 90 years old.
Probably best known for having taken the most iconic photo of the Earth ('Earthrise') whilst orbiting the Moon.

RIP to the late, great Willie Mays, a favorite growing up and one of the most exciting players I've ever seen. Ninety-three is some pretty good innings.

The very first Big League game I ever saw was at Crosley Field on September 29, 1968 - Giants vs. Reds. Below I've posted the box score. I still can't believe I saw that many Hall of Famers at my first game!

I hope you enjoy eternity drinking wine, eating cheese, and catching some rays.

"The Eagle has Landed" was my introduction to Sutherland when I was only small. My siblings and I always exclaimed, "That's the Irish guy!" whenever he showed up in other movies (as he did often). I think by the third or fourth viewing of "The Dirty Dozen" I finally learned his name.

RIP Mr. Devlin.

Love Donald Sutherland. One monument from the 70s that I don't see mentioned above: Don't Look Now.

Latest Donald Sutherland movie I saw was Forsaken, a western from 2015. Liked it very much. It was great to see father and son, Donald and Kiefer, playing father and son.

Donald Sutherland was a fine actor, but for all his flashier performances, it's his more quiet, introverted roles that I find even more interesting: Ordinary People, Pride & Prejudice...

I'm not sure if it's available to view anywhere now, but I recall him being excellent in a 1980s TV movie adaptation of Steinbeck's The Winter of Our Discontent.

"Cinema" is more or less dead for me, these days. And I'm 39...

R.I.P., Donald!
