Many years ago, my old boss told me that this is the season when celebrities die. And sadly, he was right then, and he is right now.
Every year, I dread the end of the year because I know we are going to lose some great people, like Walt Disney, Charlie Chaplin, Betty White, George Michael, Carrie Fisher, Dean Martin, Eartha Kitt, my dad, and so many more.
In the last 24 hours, we added Rob Reiner and Anthony Geary to that list. The two worked together in 1971 on an episode of All in the Family, and 54 years later, they passed away together—one in an unfathomable way with his wife, and the other from a surgical complication.
You never know when it is going to be your time or anyone else’s. So don’t wait until Christmas or the New Year to tell someone you love them, do it today.
Since I am not a fan of writing obits anymore, I leave that up to my friends to do, and I post their obits in Hot Links. Just in case you were wondering why I don’t do them anymore.
Now, having that said that, thank you to Meat Head and Luke for the happy memories you gave all of us!
