2010 Roll Call

Last year it took two posts to remember those we lost in 2009. Again our roll call is long. No annual list of newsworthy deaths is truly complete. As you look through these photos of special folks we collectively knew, you're sure to think of others we lost this year. I invite you to post a comment below about who else should be remembered and why.

Wow, there are many on this list that I didn't know of, like Steve Cannell! What stands out in my mind about him is his famous logo---him typing and the page flying out of the typewriter! As well as his work of course!

I didn't know Art Linkletter, or Robert Culp, or Dennis Hopper, or Tom Bosley--Mr C! had died.

RIP to them all.
