Oh no - that is a sad development about Dr. Dunn. I knew him at UCA and he was as fine of a leader as you could have wanted.  67 is far too young....

Richard Trickle, 71

You know him better by the short form of his name which (I think) can't be posted on this board.  He was a NASCAR driver who, though he did not win a Winston/Nextel/Sprint Cup race, was very popular.  Keith Olbermann would always announce where he finished, no matter how bad. 

He was a short-track legend in his native Wisconsin where he won more than 1,000 races, and was the Rookie of the Year in Cup in 1989.

The duo on The Voice sang that a week or so ago. Very well, I might add.

University of Arkansas graduate,  11 times a winner on the PGA Tour and three-time U.S. Senior Open champion.  Known as "Mr. X".

Met Miller Barber several times.  Great guy.

I saw Barber at the Memphis tournament -many- years ago.  The descriptions of his swing do not do the actual watching of it justice but for a small(er) man, he could put it out there fairly long.  He was one of the first generation of golfers who found a great deal of success on the senior tour after a journeyman's existence on the PGA tour.  Glad for folks like Barber that the senior tour gave them another chance to keep playing.

Blood Clot   
Lesley Messer (@lesleymesser)    Jul 22, 2013, 3:18 PM
Dennis Farina, a former Chicago cop turned actor, died suddenly this morning in Scottsdale, Ariz., from a blood clot in his lung, ABC News has confirmed. He was 69.

Kevin Winter/Getty Images
"We are deeply saddened by the loss of a great actor and a wonderful man. Dennis Farina was always warm-hearted and professional, with a great sense of humor and passion for his profession," his publicist, Lori DeWaal, said in a statement. "He will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and colleagues. We hope that he finds a new life where great roles are plentiful and the Cubs are always winning the pennant. We ask that the press refrain from contacting his family at this time so that they can mourn their loss together."

Farina worked as a Chicago police officer for nearly 20 years and got his break in acting while serving as a police consultant to movie director Michael Mann on the 1981 film "Thief." The small role he got in the film launched him on his career, often playing cops and tough guys.

Farina is widely recognized for playing Lt. Mike Torello in the '80s cop series "Crime Story," and Det. Joe Fontana on "Law and Order." Most recently, he starred in the HBO series "Luck" and produced and starred in the independent film, "The Last Rites of Joe May."

The Chicago native, who had memorable roles in "Midnight Run," "Snatch," "Out of Sight," and "Get Shorty," is survived by three sons, six grandchildren and his love of 35 years, Marianne Cahill. In lieu of flowers, his family has asked for donations to The 100 Club of Chicago. Funeral services are pending.
