Was never a regular viewer of the Waltons but liked the show and Waite. RIP  I also remember he ran for a congressional seat in Palm Springs. I remember seeing voting signs with his picture. TIS

Former Phillies Manager Jim Fregosi has passed away. One of the best shortstops in many years.

Must be a bummer to die at 99, one year off your centenary.. My grandmother is less than three months away from her hundreth. Still hanging on though and in good spirits, but she feels that she's lived too long, and wouldn't care if she didn't hit the milestone. She feels that living belongs to the young. Kly, Is there going to be a birthday bash (well, of sorts) for her? That IS quite a milestone. Best wishes to her. How is her general health? It's hard to know how you would feel when you get to a 100 yrs old. NOW, I tend to think well if I'm still feeling good and in decent health, why not want to live longer. Then again, maybe you just get to a point when you're ready.  All that being said, cherish every moment with her. TIS

In case you ghouls are not aware, here is a website that posts obituaries. If you have ever signed an online guest book, it might have been through this site. You can also sign up to get an email notification if an obit is posted in a newspaper with the criteria you choose. We have many friends, acquaintances, ex-coworkers, etc. back in Rockland County, NY., so the "The Journal News of Lower Hudson" will notify me of obits in the towns I chose. Legacy.com for Obituaries

Kly, Is there going to be a birthday bash (well, of sorts) for her? That IS quite a milestone. Best wishes to her. How is her general health? She would prefer no party, but we will have a dinner for her with all of her four living generations. Her birthday falls on a Sunday, so we'll probably all go to church with her too (evwen those who don't go regularly).  The following Sunday my oldest son will turn 21, so I will buy him his first legal beer then. Her health is fair. Her eyesight is mostly gone; her vision is reduced to blurred shadows and she's had a couple of minor strokes though it's hard to say anything is minor at her age. Like SB's mom, she has outlived her contemporaries. There is only one friend still her age, and she has always referred to him as "that horse's ass." She was very saddened when my brother died in 2008, and thought it cruel that he died in his 40s while she still lived. She doesn't want to have to watch another family member get buried, and so she isn't fearing the grim reaper.

He also directed Analyze This and Analyze That. In the latter film he also played a small role as a prospective car buyer.

Lee Lorch Died Lee Lorch, a soft-spoken mathematician whose leadership in the campaign to desegregate Stuyvesant Town, the gargantuan housing development on the east side of Manhattan, helped make housing discrimination illegal nationwide, died on Friday at a hospital in Toronto. He was 98.
His daughter, Alice Lorch Bartels, confirmed the death. Mr. Lorch had taught at York University in Toronto, and had lived in Toronto since 1968.
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming
Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
