He also wrote 'Call Me the Breeze.'  A unique voice who defined laid back.  A talent has gone silent.

Art Donovan, 88

HOF defensive end, primarily with the Baltimore Colts, 1950-1961.  If you ever watched some of the NFL highlight shows that featured people or games of that era, you likely saw him commentating on it, usually with a tinge of wit.

One of the last of the true "old-school" NFL players.

George Duke, 67

Acclaimed jazz musician notable for his work with Stanley Clarke.  Together they put out one of my favorite ballads of the 80s, "Sweet Baby".

A lot of memories in this thread and was surprised about Vince Flynn -- great author and will be missed.
A couple of showmen shooters if you follow exhibition shooting as a sport:

Bob Munden & Tom Knapp to add to this list.

[Brian G]

Tommy Morrison

Boxer/Actor.  He was 44.

He was born in Gravette and grew up just over the Oklahoma border(Jay).  I'd actually spent some time with him in the early 90's.  Friend of a friend kind of deal.

Troubled figure for sure.

[Lions84]

RIP Tommy!

[1-Adam-12]

Another boxer.

Ken Norton, 70
Former world heavyweight champion and one of the few to beat Muhammad Ali.

How ironic that Bud Adams, the Oilers' founder, died three days after Bum did, also at the age of 90.

Ed Lauter gone

He was the brutal prison guard who was Burt Reynolds' nemesis in the 1974 comedy-drama "The Longest Yard" and the sleazy gas station attendant in Alfred Hitchcock's last film, "The Family Plot." In "Death Wish 3," he was the violent cop who teams with Charles Bronson's vigilante to rid New York City's streets of criminals, not by incarcerating them but by killing them.

James was on TV a week or two before he died and he looked like he could still suit up and play.

Paul Walker, 40, of "Fast & Furious" films. Car crash.

[Breitontime]

Talk about irony.

[HorseFeathers]

Police said speed was a factor....go google the images...I think that's an obvious statement, car was completely destroyed...

[Breitontime]

That kind of car is made to go fast, really fast. They disintegrate upon impact. I play with carbon fibre all day every day, it's strong, no doubt, but it shatters easily. The resin used in that application will burn/explode as well.

That car looked like it broke in half at the seat. Bad place. I saw somewhere they were in the neighborhood of 200mph. May just be someone talking, though.

[Lions84]

Sad to see that boy go like that, but Porses are not tanks !

[Lionheart88]

All the major news sources are reporting Nelson Mandela has died.  I'm watching the Fox coverage right now.
