He called her "Lovey". Not sure about her muffy.

And RIP Dawn. Add another Mary Ann fan.

Damn, he's right, it was lovey. If it were a song lyric I'd have remembered correctly.

Thanks for sharing this Ric.

Didn't know Jones but I have several acquaintances who retreated into the Santa Cruz mountains for assorted reasons.

I'm sure some of them have been flushed out by this years fires.

RIP MF Doom

RIP singer / guitarist Alexi Laiho of Children of Bodom / Bodom after Midnight 

RIP Gerry Marsden, lead singer of Gerry and the Pacemakers .

Not much that they can do when pacemakers give out on you.

Sorry, probably way too soon.

RIP Gerry.

I never listened to them much and I'm catching up now. Fuck. What a loss, and he was younger than me.

Yeah, way too young.  

RIP Tanya Roberts... https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/04/entertainment/tanya-roberts-death-trnd/index.html

Sadly, she's dead again.

Too bad, though it sounded as if she was in bad shape. A gorgeous woman, even at 65. Too young. It sounds like she was quite kind and well liked as well.

RIP, Alto Reed, sax player for the Silver Bullet Band. Boy, if you don't feel the chills when he kicks in here... well, it sure gets me every time.
 

 

RIP Neil Sheehan, reporter and Pulitzer Prize-winning author who broke the story of the Pentagon Papers for The New York Times

RIP to an actual patriot. 

RIP Neil Sheehan.

Not someone I personally like but he was a big figure in baseball and a hated figure in my house full of Giants fans. RIP Tommy. The Dodgers suck! 

 

 

RIP Tommy....was literally wondering how he was, after seeing the cameo (on the Police Squad post I made)

Not a big baseball guy, but I Lasorda liked him. 

RIP Tommy

RIP, Tommy. He was a character, that's for sure...
 

 

Another one from Tommy. "My wife tells me one day 'I think you love baseball more than me.' I say 'Well, I guess that's true, but hey, I love you more than football or hockey.'"

RIP Marion Ramsey of Police Academy fame. She was 73.

It is amazing to me that someone was married to him for over 70 years.
