Oh my my == Yes Fred T. was like Danny Gann in which he as well died at a young age of (I think 48) last month.. You know they did not say to much about his death.. He was out at Vegas doing shows..

Danny Gann! I knew there was one that I couldn't recall!

What I have noticed, that is scary -- used to be that when the "famous" folks would die I'd think "oh yeah, I remember Mom / Dad talking about him / her." (Bogart, Garbo, etc)

Now, it is my OWN MEMORY!

Of all these, F. Travalena is the only one I never even heard of. The rest: I knew OF them!

THe Celeb worship in general, its been all over the news and talk radio for the last week or so, its disrespectfull to the dead. How many threads have been on PT alone over a celeb kicking off?

At least Farrah's family and friends took a dignified approach to her passing. McMahon's family isnt all over the news either, taking the dignified approach.

For those that want to point out that I will find humor in death, I hope that when I die my friends and loved ones will remeber my funny times or crack jokes at my expense. Ild rather leave them smiling then crying, but thats just me.

No, that applies to me, also. I'd much rather have a celebration of my life, than weeping and wailing. When my mom died, we had a short, graveside service - then we all went to a restaurant and told stories about our memories of her. Most of them brought a smile or laugh. That's what I want.

My mother's funeral was full of laughter, funny stories and smiles at memories shared. My boss of the time, who attended, decided that if my Dad, now a widower after 40+ years of marriage and having watched his wife suffer from ALS, could smile, well, it was okay for him to as well.

To each his or her own.

My friend that recently passed away was one of the funniest guys I've ever known. At his funeral they showed a slide show, there were funny pictures that we laughed at. Some of the things the Reverend said were funny as well. That's exactly how Eric would have wanted it. He was always making people laugh.
