Whewwwwwwww......me too. Mine (my avi) died last October at the age of 18. We were constant companions for his entire life and there's never enough time. Max the dog wasn't famous; except around the neighborhood. I'd be walking him and people would call out "Hi Max".

RIP to Daryl. I liked him in a bunch of things, from child actor to seasoned adult. Two of my favorite movies of his from the 80's were the sci fi thriller LOOKER and the Burt Reynolds starring action drama SHARKY'S MACHINE.

I just heard about this and was about to post something similar. RIP, Bill Walton.

 

[InCali]

Shocked to hear about Bill Walton. I didn't know he had been diagnosed with cancer. I grew up a UCLA fan and he was a tremendous player at both the college and pro level. He was hampered with foot problems, but was still one of the very, very best.
