Ilunga Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Since no one has started a thread for this year after learning of Ken's death I thought I would. https://skateboarding.transworld.net/news/ken-block-1967-2023/ To some of us Ken Block is a legend. His driving skills were incredible and he was a good bloke Here is a just one of the many videos he put out. He co founded the DC shoe company and that company supported/ supports many action sports athletes. Rip on brother. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Bobby Hull passed. I remember listening to CBC radio broadcast('50's) before we got TV. Hull and Mikita playing Keon, Ellis and Armstrong. Bobby Hull came to my town in the '60's to help fund a campaign to rebuild our Rec Centre. Big smile and lots of time for all the kids. Truly, bigger than life. His hands were huge. Bobby could just fly. His WHA Jets could have competed with the NHL. I got to met Bobby again during the '74 WHA Series against Red Army. He scored a goal that the Russian goal judge wouldn't count. The Canadian boys circled the Russian net protesting to the refs. There were about 3500 Canadian fans and as a group we were screaming and yelling at the goal judge. Some fans got to the base of his stand and started rocking it from side to side. The goal judge picked up a chair and leaned over taking swings at the fans. What fantastic fun. Of course we were all drunk on cheap Russian wine. Go figure. RIP Bobby. You charted your own way thru the hockey world. The picture of you forking hay bales should be in the Canadian Museum of History if it is not already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) 'Laverne & Shirley' star Cindy Williams dies at 75: 'One of a kind' Actress Cindy Williams, here in 2012, has died after a brief illness. (Photo: Getty Images) Laverne & Shirley and Happy Days star Cindy Williams has died after a "short illness," her family confirmed on Monday. She was 75. The actress was best known for playing Shirley Feeney opposite Penny Marshall's Laverne on the beloved sitcoms. Williams's children, Zak and Emily Hudson, issued a statement to Yahoo Entertainment saying that Williams passed away peacefully on Jan. 25. "The passing of our kind, hilarious mother, Cindy Williams, has brought us insurmountable sadness that could never truly be expressed," family spokesperson Liza Cranis shared on Monday. "Knowing and loving her has been our joy and privilege. She was one of a kind, beautiful, generous and possessed a brilliant sense of humor and a glittering spirit that everyone loved." Born just outside of Los Angeles, Williams started acting in high school where she shared the stage with Sally Field, according to the actress's website. After graduating college, where she majored in Theater Arts, Williams landed her first television roles in Room 222, Nanny and the Professor and Love, American Style. Movie roles followed as she starred in director George Lucas's classic 1973 film American Graffiti alongside Ron Howard, Richard Dreyfuss and Harrison Ford. The following year, she starred in Francis Ford Coppola's The Conversation. Williams's biggest break came in 1975 when she was cast in ABC's Happy Days. Williams's character Shirley and her best friend Laverne DeFazio (Marshall) went on a double date with Richie (Ron Howard) and Fonzie (Henry Winkler). The duo's scene-stealing roles led to the spinoff Laverne & Shirley, following the roommates as they worked at a Milwaukee bottling factory in the 1950s and '60s. Laverne & Shirley ran for eight seasons and was one of the most popular shows on television during its run. Thanks to Williams and Marshall's energetic onscreen chemistry, Laverne & Shirley, is widely considered one of the most iconic female friendships in television history. Williams and Marshall remained friends offscreen and appeared together in 2004 for the joint unveiling of the stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. When Marshall, who later directed such films as Big and A League of Their Own, died in 2018 at the age of 75, Williams described it as "an extraordinary loss." Williams was still entertaining audiences prior to her death. Last year, she completed a national theater tour of her one-woman show: Me, Myself and Shirley.

Nuxfanabroad Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) Interesting coincidence that both Laverne & Shirley co-stars died at age 75. Back in the 1970's, them two were a natural tandem with great chemistry. Edited February 9, 2023 by Nuxfanabroad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
