The Mourning Post
Very late last night the news reached me that Ronnie Barker had died, I used to love the guy on the Two Ronnies and like most people I grew up watching Porridge and Open All Hours.
From what I understand the guy was always a consummate professional and a true gentleman, so long Ronnie, we'll miss you.
I just like to take this opportunity while im a being a little serious to pay my respects to a few other dudes that the world is now less with their absence. Some of these men have been gone a long while but I'd still like to say goodbye.
Rodney Dangerfield - When I found out he'd died it hurt like a kick in the gut, and when I think about him it still does, I don't think we'll ever see another man like him.
Will Eisner - An amazing man who put something amazing into the world. I could talk about his career but better men than myself have already done so.
Bill Hicks - He was taken from us too soon, he knew the truth and wasn't afraid to say it. Possibly the last true preacher. Wherever you are Bill, I hope I'll bump into you someday.
With respect.
