As 15 rolls into 16, I want to look back and remember a few people that passed away in 2015.
Yogi Berra & Ernie Banks - I am too young to have watched them, but it is still tough to lose a connection of truly two of the great people on this earth.
Moses Malone and Darryl Dawkins - Two big men from an era when the NBA was an interest to me and worth watching.
Dick Van Patten - I should mourn the TV dad to Kristie McNichol, one of my first TV crushes. 8 is Enough was a classic show!
Dusty Rhodes - I never was in to "Wrasselin" but i had a college buddy that walked around imitating him, "Baby Doll for 30 Days!" I once saw him riding down the highway with a wrestler that he was supposed to hate.
BB King - This legendary musician helped create my appreciation for Jazz Guitarist Earl Klugh and Blues Guitarist Keb Mo.
Leonard Nimoy - I never was into Star Trek but he was a powerful figure from that show.
Stuart Scott - He drove me crazy with his Booyah and his butt kissing of athletes but the Tar Heel left a tremendous legacy.
Donna Douglass - I watched Elly May Clampett most days after school. My mother often called me Jethro Bodine.
What actor or athlete will you miss most?
