The RIP Thread

Poor old Ted
Clearly off his head
But a lover of our Rangers
In fits and starts
He won the hearts
Of all us total strangers.

RIP TED

 

Dean Stockwell: Tributes to 'big-hearted' Quantum Leap actor https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-59217820

 

Ffs I liked Quantum Leap alot, saw an interview with him once where he openly talked about taking LSD during the 60's and going to hippy love ins. Didn't regret any of it and said it enlightened his view of the world. Fine actor and highly intelligent man. RIP

 

From what I’ve read, an all round pretty decent chap.

 

Goodnight Al.

R.i.p.

 

I also note the footie commentator, Gerald Sinstadt, has also passed away at the age of 91.

 

.

 

I remember him from way back, one of ITV's best...

 

Up there with the great commentators, Brian Moore, Huw Johns, Barry Davies, David Coleman........

Those that commentate today should watch, listen and learn..........

 

Sad, he was an excellent commentator, as many back in that era seemed to be. RIP

 

I'll always remember when Brian Moore said : The best commentary a commentator can give when the action taking place is breathtaking, is to say nothing at all because no words are required ! A true great

 

Here in Oz, l remember Brian Moore ( The Big Match ) …very fondly. He was my favourite commentator.

 

RIP Ron

 

My boyhood era is fast being decimated, Ron was another household name back in the 60s. RIP...

 

And now, Graeme Edge, drummer for the Moody Blues. Co-founded the group when they were blues band. The Moodies were one of my all time favourites

 

RIP Graeme. The Moody Blues were just quality !

 

That makes me sad.

I saw the Moody Blues at the Albert Hall in 1969, or maybe 1970. My mate at school went to get the tickets and when he came back I asked him if there was a support act. He said 'Yeah, some bloke called John Elton'.

RIP Graeme

 

RIP Graeme Edge.

Loved 'Top Rank Suite'.......... had a fantastic beat to it.
