Notable Deaths Of 2013...

[Wiggs Dannyboy]

As I've gotten older, I've become a regular reader of the obituaries (national/international, not so much local). Probably due to me getting closer to the end point, but also every year there are more and more people who were/are important to me that have actually succumbed to the Grim Reaper, and are no more.

Here is a list from the Washington Post. Many of the folks on this list are unknown to me, but after reading about their lives it's easy to see how they led lives of quiet importance. All were influential in some aspect. Feel free to comment on any individuals who held an important place in your heart/mind.

RIP.

Tom Laughlin, AKA Billy Jack!

I didn't know Annette(Funicello) had passed. She was my, and most boys of that time, first love. The first and last(?) Mouseketeer who made it in movies who didn't become a slut/whore. My Annette didn't even show her navel so Uncle Walt wouldn't be ashamed of her. Classy Lady.

My most favorite Billy Jack scene [YOUTUBEIF]aVX-voqWuwY[/YOUTUBEIF]

HA! Yeah, that is definitely a great scene. I really need to find at least the first Billy Jack movie and re-watch it. He was a pretty cool cat.

Another great scene is in the Ice Cream Shop. Billy Jack gives a speech that climaxes with, "... I just go BERSERK!", at which point he starts kicking ass! Classic!
