Rest In Peace, show your respects to those who have passed away.

An old friend of my family has had cancer for a while now. He and my father weren't speaking over some bullshit so that makes this even worse. After being in a coma in the hospital this past week, he passed away last night. I miss you already, man. A great person who didn't deserve this shit. I'm just glad you're no longer in pain. RIP

@Remington
Damn, man, that sucks.
Take care. You are in my thoughts!

Thank you.

Sad news to learn of the passing of Gary Kurtz and Al Matthews.
RIP.

And thoughts to you and your family @Remington
Cancer is just a horrible affliction that has affected us all in one way or another.

I cannot believe it's been 16 months already since Sir Rog passed. Where does the time go?

Damn ! I just read about the passing away of comic book artist Norm Breyfogle :

I had met him in 1990 or so during the United Kingdom Comic Art Convention. He'll be terribly missed.

I know quite a lot of children (and a few black and white cats) that are sad today.

My son used to watch that show as a kid.

Sad news. I now have my own black and white cat called Millie. See my avatar for an artist's impression of her.

Not really much white, is there? (And no, I'm not complaining. Our present cats are the first in 30-some years that are NOT just black and/or white).

Yes, I should have said that Millie is mainly black, but has some white on her legs and neck area. The painting reminds me of her (and me!) but it's not a total fit as it dates from a German novel cover of the 1920s!

Marty Balin. Wow. Just, wow. Perhaps the most gorgeous voice of the Psychedelic era. Sure, Grace Slick was the more "famous" singer in the Jefferson Airplane -- but Marty got the Airplane off the ground before Grace even joined the group with their 2nd album. Here's one of my favorite Balin ballads:

Was never a fan, but that is a great song.

French legend Charles Aznavour has passed away today, at the age of 94. RIP. :-(

Benny

Just saw on Facebook about the passing of Geoffrey Hayes from Rainbow.
Sad news. They’ll be plenty who watched Rainbow growing up, that will recall him I’m sure. RIP Geoffrey.

barryt007

I'm one of them Benster.

RIP and thanks Geoffrey .

And till the end, he performed. Farewell, Monsieur Aznavour. You'll be missed, that's for sure.

Here's an appearance on The Muppet Show, which was scnadalously cut from the DVD.



GROK ! I just learned about the passing of comic book artist Carlos Ezquerra, co-creator of Judge Dredd. Lung cancer, at 70. Guess Judge Death won. But then, he always does.

When I was 5 years old in the early 90s two of my absolute favourite programmes were Rosie and Jim and Rainbow. Now both presenters have gone in the space of a week. :(


A sad time for my childhood. RIP John Cunliffe and Geoffrey Hayes (I just hope Matthew Corbett is with us for a bit longer).

Didn't hear that about Ezquerra. Stunning artist.
Loved his work on Dredd
RIP Carlos

Both Rainbow and Rosy & Jim were part of my childhood (along with Fun House and Art Attack among others). :(

RIP to Geoffrey Hayes & John Cunliffe .

Carlos Ezquerra was an absolute legend of UK comics. Very sad to hear of his passing. He co-created the legendary Judge Dredd and Strontium Dog comic book characters for 2000AD. It's no exaggeration to say Carlos Ezquerra was the artistic heart and soul of 2000AD.

Saw this terrible story yesterday. It’s kind of spooked me as I know that road well. RIP to the man and talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Italian actor Venantino Venantini, most famous for his part as a mob hitman in the classic comedy Les Tontons Flingueurs, has passed away at the age of 88 :

He was the last of the star-studded cast of the most celebrated comedy crime movie of all times in France. A movie I never tire to watch.
