RIP Florence Henderson

[Cactus_Cowboy]

Man, it's been a rough year for famous people and movie stars. She wasn't all that to me other than I grew up in that era when televisions were hugh boxes and every show seemed to portray life as peachy and had happy-ever-after endings. To bad she couldn't hold on a little longer and make it into the new year. But she still made her mark and left a legacy for the rest us and those after. May she find peace.

A bad year, indeed.

• Leonard Cohen
• David Bowie
• Gene Wilder
• Alan Rickman
• Morley Safer
• Arnold Palmer
• Gary Marshal
• Patty Duke
• William Schallert (who played Patty's father on the Patty Duke Show)
• Alan Young (who played along side a talking horse)

I grew up with all of them.

And Glen Frey! ;-(

Then also:

Prince

Pete Burns

George Kennedy

Natalie Cole

And many more....

Damn, no sooner do I post about Florence Henderson, then there's breaking news about Fidel Castro passing at 90. I don't know what to say about that guy other than when the boatman takes him across; a lot of souls are going to be waiting at the shore for their turn at payback.

Its sad to see the number of people who die each year almost as sad is the number of missing persons. All will be missed and Mrs Henderson is no doubt missed by many. May she rest in peace!
