RIP. Anyone in southern Ontario who owned a TV during the eighties will likely have fond memories of Irv's nightly Eyewitness News, reporting on yet another fire in Cheektowaga, Lackawanna or North Tonawanda.
Sue Grafton. I don't think I ever read her, but she sure sold some books.

I remember him well. Do you know where your children are?

Rick Hall
Died on Tuesday at age 85.
The founder of Muscle Shoals "FAME Studios". The producer or co-producer of dozens of the biggest R&B hits by Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Etta James, Clarence Carter and many others. And the man behind the Swampers session band who played on all of those hits.
If you haven't already, check out the 2013 documentary "Muscle Shoals" about Rick Hall, FAME Studios and the Swampers. Fantastic.

Terrific doc...I was shocked to discover the Donna Godchaux (backup singer for Grateful Dead in 70s) sang on "When A Man Loves A Woman" by Percy Sledge! Hard to reconcile with her PITB wailing...
Brendan Byrne former governor of NJ who brought the Giants to the Meadowlands, casino gambling to Atlantic City, preserved the Pinelands and instituted the first state income tax (a highly unpopular but needed thing when the state was on the brink in the mid 70s)
Jerry Van Dyke. I didn't watch Coach, but I loved him as Mike Heck's goofy father-in-law in The Middle.
John Young. The only US astronaut to fly in the Gemini, Apollo and Space Shuttle programs, at 87. Of note, he's the only astronaut ever to be admonished by Congress for sneaking a corned beef sandwich onto a spacecraft.

Do you blame him? RIP
Keith Jackson
IMO the greatest CFB play by play guy ever. He was a true icon, and back in the day, if he was announcing your game then it was a big one.
Whoa Nelly!!! RIP

Huge +1 on both comments. His last game was the 2006 Texas-USC championship and I will always get goosebumps when I hear “He’s going for the cornerrrrr!” He will always be the voice of college football. RIP
And not just college FB but many other sports notably some of the greatest moments in Olympics history. If there was ever someone who would live forever through the recorded annals of sports history it's Keith Jackson
