Notable Deaths 2022

[angeldeb82]

We've been keeping track of notable deaths here since 2008, and it all started with Heath Ledger. Separate threads began to appear for new deaths, and I decided that they should all go into one thread, to be renewed each New Year's Day, so now we have fourteen years' worth of obits to look through. Here's Memory Lane.

It seems that the replies in 2021 have been less numerous than those in 2020, but more than those in 2008. And except for those few who were still posting in here, it feels a little empty ever since the overhaul of the forums in late 2019. But as long as the login bug hasn't returned yet, I'm still fine.

No links or anything, but if Angel Deb is out, then I'll just note the passing of Meatloaf and Louie Anderson in the last week or so.

Hey there, triplemultiplex. I never realized that you were still here. Well, it seems that I've decided to visit these forums once a month or every two weeks or so to see how they are doing these days. Anyways, it's pretty nice to see you again, huh?

Anyways, back to posting the deaths that were missed in January.
