GeekNights 090625 - Celebrity Deaths

Greg

We should have sent a sniper in to kill Hitler before he consolidated so much power. That was a bad call, not doing that.

We didn't send anyone, but there were plenty of assassins trying to kill him. In addition to the infamous Operation Valkyrie by the Wehrmacht, Wilhelm Canaris attempted 15 assassinations, many of them before the outbreak of war.

Not a good week, Johnathon Winters too.

Not a good week, Jonathan Winters too.

A true legend of comedy and one of my favorite comedians ever. He shall sorely be missed.

A legend of filmmaking and special effects leaves the world today. Modern special effects would not exist without this man. He will sorely be missed.

Jean Stapleton is dead.

Geo

Jean Stapleton is dead.

The last of the elder Bunkers is gone. Now there is only one Bunker left (Sally Struthers is effectively dead to me because of what she has done to herself).

RIP Deacon Jones

He was not necessarily a big mainstream name, but Ryan Davis of giantbomb.com has passed away far too young. He'd just gotten married too. It's really sad.

canine224

Wow, he was one of the good ones and he was relatively young. That is very depressing.

thaneofcawdor

Yeah, shocked the shit out of me. I was going to see him at PAX Aus in a week and a bit. A real loss to the less serious side of games coverage.
