Funny seeing this thread:
Me (tonight): “What year did Dick Van Dyke die?”
My wife (looking at her phone): “I’m thinking.....oh wow...”

It sure seemed that both Charlie Sheen and Mike Tyson’s stories we’re going to end in tragedy

Sheen didn’t seem like he going to survive 6 months past his tiger blood interview

Magic Johnson. Thought he'd be dead by 2000.

Man I'll never forget meeting Ozzy When he did USOconcert in Korea at Camp Hovey Korea. He performed in a basketball gym I was 5 rows in. I could of been closer since I was second in line at concert. The place was rocking with about a 1000 people in gym.

After concert to be able to meet and take a picture with my favorite music artist was awesome.

The man snorted a line of ants while on tour with Mötley Crüe.

He should not be alive.

That is a good one ... he was diagnosed with HIV back in '92 I think? And during that time, people with HIV had maybe 5 years.

Robert Downey, Jr. was on my dead pool for a while. He's obvs turned it around but when he was in his 30s, I thought he was going to end up just like his character in Less Than Zero .... OD'd in a convertible sitting between Andrew McCarthy and Jami Gertz. It's so hard to kick the drugs but looks like he did it!

Dammit. I remember seeing that movie. I'm old as fork.

On a serious note, getting your own elders off the road in away that is sensitive to their independence is one of the hardest things a person can have to do.

Yup, that was not fun...

I mentioned earlier that we lucked out in that my f-in-l recognized it in himself, but a neurologist told him as well. One thing we did, was get him a golf cart so he could still get around his neighborhood, go visit family and get to a nearby grocery store accessible via a sidewalk. But he's in Lafitte and where he lives allowed this as an option.

The name I'll add here is Wilford Brimley. He looked old in Cocoon in the mid-1980s.

I am happily surprised that Lindsey Lohan is still alive. I worry about her.
