I realize that many of my readers are not old enough to remember who they were, but in 2015 we lost a lot of beloved entertainers and leaders, who’s collective impact has affected nearly everyone in North America in one way or other.

While I feel like giving them a sort of lengthy group eulogy, I’ll refrain and just give you a link to the BBC’s website where they posted a video that does the job better than I could.

To them all: you will be missed. Thank you for the fun, laughs, tears, and distractions. May you have as much fun with your next life.
