Celebrity Death Thread

RIP Wilford. The “Quaker Oats Guy” with a lot of great roles throughout his career (The Natural, Cocoon, and The Firm to name a few). Loved his cameo on Seinfeld as “The Postmaster General”.

He nailed that. "Do you like to golf Mr. Kramer...."

Speaking of Seinfeld, RIP Reni Santoni, aka “Poppie”.

RIP

One of the great non-verbal scenes of Seinfeld. Of course I think almost every episode is gold.

I was sad to hear about Jamie. The crazy thing is how healthy he seemed and he’s only a couple of years older than me, I think.

RIP Dale Hawerchuk, 57, cancer.

PS probably one of the most underrated players ever

[Forsh]

Wow this one is more stunning than Kelly Preston.

Chadwick Boseman aka the Black Panther, 43, colon cancer ... RIP

I thought he looked pretty thin in those last few movies, but didn't know anything about this until hearing that he passed

[BJK]

Yeah, Chadwick’s passing was a total shocker and a gut punch. Very sad about this one too.

RIP Cliff Robinson, aka Uncle Cliffy. He had a long, distinguished NBA career, most notably with the Blazers. He was considered a consummate teammate and pro. He was ahead of his time for his versatility, as a guy who could pretty much defend any position on the floor and as a “stretch big” on offense. Spent a few seasons with the Pistons in the early 00’s as a veteran presence during the build up of the “Goin’ to Work” team.

Sad. I was a fan. RIP.

Googling this and hoping it was not true. Terrific actor who made a huge impact on his community. It's crazy to me that he was able to suffer through this without being discovered. Good for him, what a loss.
