Some of these have been noted on FARK or elsewhere, but I want to round them up here for completeness:
Kitty Wells, noted country singer. (“It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels”) (A/V Club.)
John Lord, keyboard player for Deep Purple.
I also wanted to say a few words about Donald J. Sobol. (NYT. WP. A/V Club. Patrick @ Balko.) I got a great deal of enjoyment out of Mr. Sobol’s work when I was young, and I am saddened by his death (though 87 is a good run).
As regular readers know, I generally do not solicit donations here. But I would like to note that in lieu of flowers, the family has asked for donations to the New York Public Library to support services for kids. You can donate here, if you’d like.
