I had the same apprehensions when I was thinking of posting his death to these boards.

In this case, RIP can be "Rest In Purgatory."

Think BIH would be more appropriate.

Isn't that premature? From what I can find he's still alive albeit on life support.

No, that would be too kind.
What really baffles me is how the news media has really played up his death and recounted the actions that made him infamous.
It’s like saying, “Hey kids! If you really want to be remembered, just go out and brutally murder a bunch of people.”
Meanwhile, people who are actually kind, generous, and produce positive impacts on society are typically ignored.

Very sad. I didn't know that she was battling cancer.
Her loss to Graf in the 1993 Wimbledon Final, after leading 4-1 in the final set, was one of the most memorable moments in the history of tennis. She was completely distraught, and sought consolation on the shoulder of the Duchess of Kent. A completely genuine and moving moment.
I was very happy that she finally won Wimbledon in 1998.
She was an exceptional doubles and mixed doubles player, winning a combined 16 Grand Slam titles in both.
She had a fantastic smile!
I hope she is now at peace.

Jim Nabors--Golly.
Bummer. Good run at 87 though.
I remember the first time I heard him sing. I was sure someone was doing a voiceover.
RIP

As a long time IndyCar fan, his rendition was a tradition on that morning in late May every year before the 500. Not the same without him. RIP

RIP Vince Scully. One of my favorite memories as a kid was listening to him and Joe G call a MLB game.

Are you sure? I think Vin is still with us. Vincent Scully (different guy) passed last week.

Wow big bummer! They started out in my college town during my college days and played fraternity basement parties a couple times. We're also regulars with many shows at the Court Tavern. RIP Pat
Tommy Nobis, perhaps the best linebacker to ever put on the burnt orange and white. Here’s a Hook’Em for you Tommy! RIP
Bruce Brown, legendary surf documentarian, producer/director of The Endless Summer fame and many more. If you've never seen the Endless Summer, his easy going nature and smooth one liners will not disappoint, especially if you're into travel.
Nobis was an old school LB, a sideline to sideline tackling machine. He was the heart and soul of the Falcon defense. Loved watching him play.
Keely Smith, the queen of deadpan singers. For another great deadpan singer check out Virginia O'Brien in the Marx Brothers' movie The Big Store.
