Topic: R.I.P. Thread

With the giants of my life passing away at a faster clip I thought we'd create a thread to honor them.

Today its one of my childhood heroes Alex Karras.  A man's man for the Lions and who could forget him in the classic Blazing Saddles.

Mongo likes beans. R.I.P.

Re: R.I.P. Thread

Mongo just pawn in game of life. That's sad news.

I heard  this on the radio this am.  Sad to hear.  It was a rough ending for him.  May he now rest in peace.

beautiful words from Arlo, sorry to hear he lost her. RIP B.B. Cunningham who was gunned down in Memphis this weekend, he was a current member of Jerry Lee Lewis' band. You may also remember Ronnie and the Daytonas, and this obscure one hit wonder group. It's a really nice video they put together.

I saw the news of the shooting but didn't know it was attached to this great song.  I've got it as it is part of the fabulous soundtrack to my favorite movie, Elizabethtown, by Cameron Crowe.
Arlo's words about living in the moment ring so true.  I met my wife thirty years ago today and we were married exactly one year later at 2:00PM CST, October 15, 1983.  That's three minutes from now as I type.  I no longer take for granted ringing in the next one and like Arlo said I've accepted the fact that I can't control destiny and in reality all we ever have is this moment.  I love you Mitzi!

Thanks for posting, Jane. My take on George was always that he was the most thoroughly decent man to run for the presidency in my lifetime.

RIP Iron Man

It's hard to believe he was only in his forties when he played Corporal Jones

Condolences to Tarus52, Bob Lubbehusen, on the death of his Father. Poor Bob has a plate full. Both his parents went downhill quickly. He still has to transfer his Mom to a long term care home, prepare for his own impending surgery, and maintain sanity.  Cathy

If you see Bob give him a big hug from me - he is such a great person and has had way too much on his plate for a long time.

Me and Renee are very sorry about your loss Bob. Hang in there Crossroads bud.

Re: R.I.P. Thread

Hi Bob,

Yes, my condolences too.  It is times like these that your faith will be tested.  I've been down that same road and all I can say is be strong and lean on family and friends along the way.
