Aw man, that's too bad. RIP to the original Chewie.
Funny thing is he was just a hospital orderly that happened to be very tall, and he ended up becoming one of the most iconic characters in science fiction just by wearing a furry suit.

American animator Christopher Reccardi, best known for his work in multiple roles for hit series such as The Ren & Stimpy Show, The Powerpuff Girls and Samurai Jack, died May 2 at age 54. The news was shared on Facebook by friend and Ren & Stimpy colleague William Wray, who wrote that Reccari — an avid surfer — “died doing what he loved.”
Jim Fowler, who hosted Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom with Marlin Perkins, (initially assistant host, then took over when Marlin passed) has himself passed at 89 years
I remember many a saturday watching that show and the gentlemanly hell Marlin would put Jim thru.. "over there is a crocodile, very dangerous .. Jim, go dangle a chicken in front of it"

Not sure how famous he is outside Sweden, but Swedish author Sven Lindqvist passed away yesterday. I can strongly recommend his Exterminate all the Brutes for anyone interested in the evolution of colonialism and genocide leading up to the Holocaust. I haven't read his History of Bombing, but it's supposed to be good as well. He certainly had a way with words at least.
For thirteen years I had a dog with fur the darkest black. For thirteen years he was my friend, oh how I want him back.
In real news, Mr. I.M. Pei, a modernist architect (Kennedy Library, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and most famously, the Pyramids at the Louvre) passed away yesterday.
In not so real news: Grump Cat of internet meme fame died today (or late late last night)

That thing made her owner a multi-millionaire I believe.
RIP Tardar Sauce.

Indeed, he is well worthr reading and its always sad when a good author passes away

I know not many race fans/petrol-heads on this forum, but he was still quite well known.
This one was sad for me, I'm a big fan of his and his comeback to racing after that horror crash was amazing. 3 World Drivers Championships to his name is no small feat.
What a character Avon was, played with such wonderful snark by Darrow. I've been feeling an urge to rewatch B7 for a while, actually...
“Good people are quick to help others in need, without hesitation or requiring proof the need is genuine. The wicked will believe they are fighting for good, but when others are in need they’ll be reluctant to help, withholding compassion until they see proof of that need. And yet Evil is quick to condemn, vilify and attack. For Evil, proof isn’t needed to bring harm, only hatred and a belief in the cause.”

If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge death. I’ve enjoyed a lot of his moments on screen. It seems VERY odd to type this, but...RIP, Rip.
