He battled lung cancer within the past couple of years. Not a huge surprise. Even vaccinated.

From the LA Times: Hollywood legend Lynn Stalmaster, whose name was synonymous with casting for more than 60 years, died at his home Friday of natural causes, according to a statement from his family. He was 93.
It can't be understated how important Stalmaster was. One example, according to the article, he was the first casting director to get a onscreen credit. He had almost 400 credits when he died.

What a truly horrible human being. Death does not wipe clean the foul stain of his existence.

I offer Limbaugh the same sympathy he offered to people who were less fortunate than he, the same as he offered to people who didn’t pick their parents like he must have thought he did, the same as he offered and felt for minorities, or different faith’s and the same kindness and compassion he offer to the LGBT community.

This is a nice quotation, but I don't think it is attributable to Twain. I think it is attributable to Clarence Darrow, who said it in a slightly different form. But, it's still a great quote.
