"He's dead, Jim" - The 20XX Death Thread

[happyone]

I am hoping for next week. We could only be so lucky.

I guess the third shoe has dropped

The voice actor of Optimus Prime, amongst many other things, has passed away today. As an early 50's something, this one guts me. Transformers was a formative part of my life since I was like 10 years old.

IIRC he had a stroke a few years ago that left him in a wheel chair

2 entertainment legends in a week - when does the 3rd shoe drop

Tim Curry, the second wrong 80-year-old to pass this week, and the second crewman of The Red October to die this summer.

Was just thinking about him a couple days ago. Mrs. Diddley says he's been sick for a while.

Ira Fulton died a few days ago. Namesake of two colleges of engineering, broker of a sweetheart deal to keep the LDS Institute building at ASU near campus, and the financier behind thousands of scholarships for LDS students at ASU. My understanding is that BYU didn’ t get all the money initially pledged, but the dude definitely knew how to distribute funds.

Oh wow. Yeah, I met him several times. Fun guy to be around.

Dolly is an American treasure. She always struck me as a genuinely humble, kind, and sincere person. Sad.

[falafel]

Dolly Parton, at 80. She seemed like a genuinely good person.

Wow, two things. She seemed so vibrant still. I wonder if she was sick? Second, I thought she was older than 80.

Probably died waiting to see an NHS doctor.

Try to get in to see a specialist where I live. Knock it off.

Anthony Head, who played Rupert on the first three seasons of Ted Lasso. Apparently it was a few months ago. There must be a nasty strain of pneumonia in British Commonwealth countries gong around.
