That's a shame. I remember playing his music when I was in Dauphin. I don't know how many people know, but Manitoba has a truly incredible First Nations music scene right now. I think a lot of people are discovering William Prince (finally!), but Don Amero, Desiree Dorion, and Jade Turner are a few of my favourites right now and I know there's a ton more coming up the ranks. It's impressive.

Gospel First Nation is a great album.

Robinson broke the colour barrier and Aaron broke the record books. He was a legend. Rest in Power, Hank!

That was a helluva moment breaking the Bambino's HR record. I happened to see it on tv. Not a lot of sports were shown on sportscasts back then.

Ahhh that's a shame. Such a funny lady. If you've never seen it, she was really great on the Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget. A great sport... Took some shots and gave a few back. 

are Betty White and Ed Asner the last MTM cast members standing? (granted White wasn't an original cast member though)

He was in so many TV series over the years. Usually playing a bad guy or someone nefarious. Solid actor. Made his living on over 500 television episodes from Sci Fi to drama to comedy. 

I guess explains why he wasn't back with the rest of the Saved By the Bell cast.

Not to speak ill of the dead,  but the guy post Saved by the Bell was a gong show and he completely shitted on everyone on the show afterwards.  Even if he was healthy no way would they want him around after all the lies and crap he said about the producers and his cast mates. 

Not to mention the porn tape and the scam he and his wife pulled where they lied about being homeless and begged and pocketed the money. Bad dude all around.

actually they never reached out to him at all even before his cancer diagnosis three weeks ago (yes THREE weeks ago) man I wonder if they will address this when the show returns for season 2, I imagine there will still be an in memoriam graphic, but they said he was living on the international space station with his robot to explain his absence

I did not like that show at all and hadn't followed what happened to any of them, unless it made national headlines. Didn't realize what a scummy guy he was.

I watched his seasons of Celebrity Fit Club I don't want to speak ill of the recently deceased either but, yeah he pretty much was an a-hole

loved SBTB when I was a kid, but Screech went in a real bad way after the show..... still, shame to see someone pass that young. 

sigh, we'll always have Cats Don't Dance
