In Memorium

[gryphon]

For those that have left us.

To begin ( sadly)
RIP Andy Griffith.

[Natalka]

Oh, my - he was quite the man, passed away at 86.
I watched his initial show through reruns, but I was a huge Matlock fan!

[walkonby]

I always felt " safe " watching his show, sounds silly. He was a Dad I admired, even though he was a tv dad.

I was really sad when I heard the news yesterday. When I was 3-4, my Dad would come home from work every day for lunch. He would eat and then the two of us would sit and watch an Andy Griffith rerun on TV. It was a really special time for just Dad and me, and I have many fond memories of my Dad doing this. As he worked really long hours, especially in his busy season, sometimes this was the only real "quality time" I'd get to spend with my Dad in a day. So sad, but such good memories.

I watched him in Matlock reruns.
Sad that he died, but he had some good years.

Ernest Borgnine has died.

[Patty Smyth]

AWWWW I loved him , I 've seen so many of his movies and just the other day saw him in RED with Bruce Willis

[Shwa Girl]

Ernest Borgnine has died.

At 95 - nice number of years.
And 5 marriages -- this man lived his life!
Just found out that he was in Sponge Bob Square Pants - Mermaid Man. LOL.
And I think he even was on The Simpsons.

Well, I guess he didn't like retirement.
Nice life indeed!
RIP.

We had to study this movie in High School, ( Marty ) what a role for him, made his career!

R.I.P. Mr Borgnine

[Natalka]

I never saw Marty, but liked him in a lot of movies.
Loved watching reruns of McHale's Navy



Loved The Dirty Dozen

Borgnine-Dom Santini of Airwolf. I used to joke about the shows of the 1980s-computerized car (Knight Rider), helicopter (Airwolf) and motorcycle (StreetHawk). If only Riptide had a computerized boat...

[winston]

I loved both these actors.

[Darth Penguin]

RIP Jon Lord

Kitty Wells - Queen of Country Music - died at 92



She was the first female singer to reach the top of the country charts with her 1952 song “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels."
Wells was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1976.
She garnered 35 Billboard Top Ten records and 81 charted singles.

She was just the third country singer to be get that most prestigious award, after Hank Williams and Roy Acuff.
