R.I.P.s and Birthdays...

This week we lost 3 people that we either recognize their faces and not their names or know of things they've done that made a difference in our lives, whether we realize their contributions or not.
First to pass this week was Steve Jobs, former CEO of Apple. He was 56.
Second was Charles Napier, actor, artist, writer and I'm sure much more, but this was what I have seen and heard of him. He was 75.
Third was David Hess. Actor, songwriter. He was 69.
*******************************

Steve Jobs was responsible for many innovations in computers that we now take for granted and we will remember him for years to come and thank him for his contribution to our online lives.
 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Charles Napier was in many movies and tv shows that we have seen and will continue to see for as long as there are reruns and people rent dvds/blurays and/or stream or whatever to view things he has been in, such as RAMBO 2, SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and an episode of STAR TREK TOS, The Way to Eden. He had a smile that genuinely lit up a room, IF he was being a good guy on the screen or that could send shivers down your spine if he was portraying a villain. He painted watercolors which when sold he donated the money. He had just co-written a biographical book of himself entitled Square Jaw and Big Heart and had been doing promotional appearances for it.
At the time, the reason for his death is undetermined. He was found collapsed in his home by his daughter.
He will be missed...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

David Hess will mostly be remembered for his role in Wes Craven's LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT, but he acted in quite a few other movies and tv shows and he also wrote and sang and had at least a couple of albums he'd put out over the years. He had a Facebook page and I wish he and I had conversed some on there, but he hadn't responded to my friends request before his passing.
He, as will Steve Jobs and Charles Napier, will be missed...
Today is the birthday of Brian Blessed, 75, Guillermo Del Toro, 47, Tony Shalhoub, 58 and Scott Bakula, 57.
It would have been John Lennon's 72nd birthday today and it's his son Sean Lennon's 36th birthday, also.
Other birthdays today (don't know all their ages, but they're listed on IMDb ;-))...
Brandon Routh, Jodelle Ferland, Michael Pare, Zachery Ty Bryan, John O'Hurley and those people were in the first 50 on IMDb, so if you want to know their ages, find out who the heck they are if you don't know and see more birthdays today, GO READ IT YOURSELF! LOL!
Have a great day and a wonderful week, all ye that venture in! LOL!
