  Maverick was practically a religion back in the day. I knew guys who stood at attention during the theme song (which I still remember), and others who danced, and Brother Bret was everybody's favorite. (He was always well-cast, and where would Harrison Ford be without him?)

Tom Magliozzi, one of the Tappet Brothers of Car Talk. He and Ray were unique. I was saddened when they retired and Tom's loss is a heavy one.

My neighbor for many years and renowned comic book artist, Herb Trimpe. He drew The Incredible Hulk and Wolverine, among others. He died suddenly Monday, April 13 after his daily jog, of an apparent heart attack. I extend my condolences to Patricia (his loving wife), Anna (his mother) and his children and grandchildren. May he rest in peace. Unlike most of the other posts in this thread, this one is highly personal because I knew the man. May he rest in peace.
