Writer-producer-developer Norman Lear, who revolutionized American comedy with such daring, immensely popular early-‘70s sitcoms as “All in the Family” and “Sanford and Son,” died on Tuesday. He was 101.

Lear’s publicist confirmed to Variety that he died at his home in Los Angeles of natural causes. A private service for immediate family will be held in the coming days.

Got to hang with him, Carl Reiner and Dick Van Dyke a few times. Good times. Farewell, Norman Lear. Legend.

"Boy, the way Glenn Miller played
Songs that made the hit parade
Guys like me we had it made
Those were the days
Didn't need no welfare state
Ev'rybody pulled his weight
Gee our old LaSalle ran great
Those were the days
And you knew who you were then
Girls were girls and men were men
Mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again
People seemed to be content
Fifty dollars paid the rent
Freaks were in a circus tent
Those were the days
Take a little Sunday spin
Go to watch the Dodgers win
Have yourself a dandy day
that cost you under a fin
Hair was short and skirts were long
Kate Smith really sold a song
I don't know just what went wrong
Those were the days"
"Those Were the Days" by Lee Adams & Charles Strouse

WOW...that's pretty cool!  All of them seemed pretty down-to-earth (at least in interviews).

Rest In Peace, Ralph Cirella (58) - Longtime Howard Stern Show regular, frequent caller, antagonist and stylist, died on December 5th, after his heart stopped during a medical procedure.

He had been recently diagnosed with Lymphoma.

Howard Stern,  obviously shocked and deeply saddened by his close friend's passing, gave a touching tribute and dedicated Wednesday's show to his memory. 

Rest In Peace Ralph .... Hey Now....!

also Rest In Peace to all listed above..
