Chad Everett has died

I know that during the course of a day, many people die. I have had my experience of having to deal with this process as my own daughter died in 2005, and during all my hospital visits in the last two years, I witness others dying. This is a very sad, and personal blog for me to write. Sherman Hemsley joins the latest list of actors to die in just this month alone. He brought many laughs to people, including myself.
Two  of my favorite actors that passed away (to use a better word), were James Arness & Ernest Bornine. Mr. Arness passed away in 2011, but I wanted to pay him homage here. While I never personally met Mr. Borgnine,  I have heard it said that he was a very kind and nice man. That he was a pleasure to meet. I’m only sorry that I didn’t get a chance to meet him. One of my favorite movies that he made was Marty for which he beat out several other famous actors at the time. He wrote in his book that he didn’t think that he would win that night. He was up against a friend and co-star, Frank Sinatra at the time.  I just think it’s sad that the american movie and television watching audience is losing some talented people. Unfortunately, there is nothing that we can do about it. The Bible even tells us that there is a time and season for everything (Ecclesiastes 3:2 a time to be born, and a time to die) My point is that even though this must happen, it seems to be happening a lot especially this month, and that is what I find so sad. The good news is that because of film and DVD’s, we can continue to see their excellent work. Even those who have never heard of these people can simply use a search engine and find out who these great people were. I hope that the remaining actors that we still  have will us like, Jack Klugman, and Mickey Rooney, just to name a couple of elderly men , are doing okay and are in good health. My congratulations to those who lived to a great old age, whether they are still with us or not. I welcome your comments on this subject.
