That’s sad news .

Sad for wife and family, but Lobbygate taints his history IMO. Pretty rotten corrupt bloke, really. (Yes, I know they "all" do it.)

Sad for Kate, I think she's a great person, beautiful too.

Derek Draper was lucky to have been married to her.

Ahh, even in death we blokes think like that, it is a shame, was really hoping he would rally and get back to some semblance of health but alas, not to be.

Remember when a lady I know lost her husband, I was madly in love with her at school and it was a terrible shock him dying and he was a lovely chap, but there is still that male genetic code that prompted my tiny brain that went "So, she is single now...".

John Diggins, guitar maker, most famously for bassist Mark King, and guitarists Tony Iommi and Angus Young.

An extremely talented craftsman with a unique legacy. Nothing else sounds like a Jaydee.

Another part of my childhood slowly going away.

So many actors have gone
Fortunately they are preserved for the future in the reruns and streaming content.
Still sad though

Indeed, it was a great horror film for my younger self.

Many of us grew up with Starsky and Hutch as a staple on TV, with the car being such a prominent image of the time.

RIP David.
