I can't believe "Mean" Gene Okerlund was still alive. Now he's not. Seemed like a good dude, sucks for his family.

 

 

It was awesome watching/listening to him tell stories in the Andre the Giant biopic last year. Can still watch it on HBOGo.

Bob Einstein. RIP Super Dave :(

Yup.  Albert Brooks's brother. Brooks changed his legit last name for, uh, obvious mis-ID reasons.

Bob Einstein was funny on the Smothers Brothers as Officer Judy, and he was hilarious on Letterman. RIP.

I can't believe he was just hitting 40 when I was watching WWF back in the early 80's.

Give the man his due. He hit Toni Tennille in her prime, which for it's day was"A' level tail and got filthy rich while doing so.

Bam Margera isn’t dead?

Pretty sure Bam has existed in some fugue, drug-fueled state between life and death for about 12 years now. 

That said, he is in some absolute classic jackass clips. Everything featuring his parents is fucking gold (jerry).

Likely deserves his own thread, however I'd be unable to provide a sufficient write up.

John J. McKetta.  One of the most influential Chemical Engineers this country has ever produced.  One of the founders of the ChE department here at UT.  Passed away this morning.  He was 103 yrs old.

Well shit.  Man I'll miss him.  The nicest guy you can imagine (yeah I met him).

He was fucking talented as shit, too.  Played folk guitar/banjo etc. for 10 years before becoming a Monkee.  He could also play keys pretty well and bass.  He ended up playing a lot of stuff on their later albums (the Monkees' members were always talented musicians, it's a total fucking fake bullshit that they didn't play on their early albums "because they didn't know how to."  They were essentially ordered to let session musicians come in, and for your first album, they didn't have a lot of rights - yet.)  Dolenz grew up playing guitar, Jones had an impressive stage career as a singer in musicals, and of course Nesmith speaks for himself.  They were as talented as almost any group back in the late 60's.  But they were already doomed as teen pop stars, although some of their later stuff was pretty cool.

Anyway, RIP, Mr. Thorkleson.  You made a lot of people really happy to be alive.  I was one of them.
