I just heard that Howard Hesseman, probably best known for his portrayal of Dr. Johnny Fever on “WKRP in Cincinnati” has left us at 81, from complications related to colon surgery.

Particularly tragic because it appears to be a suicide. I can understand that hopeless feeling, but feelings are just that: a feeling, not reality. Feelings change, but death certainly doesn’t, and it’s just so horrible for those left behind.

I wish peace for her and her family, friends and loved ones.

RIP Bob Saget
https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/bob-saget-dead-full-house-star-afv-host-1235149876/

he portrayed one of America's most innocent TV dad's of all time, but in reality he was one of the fumiest and most foul mouthed comedians i have ever seen or heard.

thanx for making me laugh

Just read an article updating the cause of death, and it was head trauma. Here’s an excerpt from the family’s statement:

“The authorities have determined that Bob passed from head trauma. They have concluded that he accidentally hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it and went to sleep. No drugs or alcohol were involved.”

What a true shame. I suppose it’s a good reminder to us all that if you hit your head, don’t go to sleep. Have a friend call 911 (or you do it) so they can do a quick eval over the phone and get you to a hospital if indicated. Head trauma can signal a concussion which if treated is survivable, but sleeping after a concussion is either fatal or results in irreversible brain injury.

Be good to yourself, everyone. You’re the only you there is, and we need you.

Dr. Paul Farmer, who co-founded Partners In Health, has died at 62 from what sounds like a heart attack (an "acute cardiac event."). A physician, humanitarian and author, Dr. Farmer was renowned for providing healthcare to millions of impoverished people worldwide. He also taught at Harvard Medical School and the dean, George Daley, described him as “A compassionate physician and infectious disease specialist, a brilliant and influential medical anthropologist and among the greatest humanitarians of our time — perhaps all time — Paul dedicated his life to improving human health and advocating for health equity and social justice on a global scale.”

RIP, Dr. Farmer, and thanks for all you did for so many. May your foundation continue your work forever.

Gary Brooker, frontman for Procol Harum and co-writer of the megahit “A Whiter Shade of Pale,” has died from cancer at 76.

Here he is in Denmark (2006) singing that song with an orchestra adding some great flavor:

He was revered in running books when I was in an athletics club in the late 70's.
Along with a few other antipodean greats who set amazing records for the time, or any time. Their names escape me.*

Alan Ladd Jr.

No I genuinely hadn't heard of (actor) Alan Ladd's son, but he had an enormous influence in getting the biggest Sci Fi movies off the ground.

Amazing story :
