Sad news indeed. Shared it on the JWMB Facebook page.
Here's a GoFundMe page setup to help with funeral arrangements. GoFundMe: Top-Website für Online-Crowdfunding und Fundraising
For some reason (maybe because I was in a hurry?) I couldn't find the JWMB FB page, because that was the first place I wanted to share it. So I shared it to mine and tagged whoever I could think of in just a couple of minutes, and I forgot at least dukefan1.
For those who know him, our very own @Colorado Bob lost an adult son, Douglass, in a tragic traffic accident. I just learned it on Facebook. Douglass was a son, husband, father, and grandfather. As you might imagine, the family is devastated by his sudden death.
TMZ: Actor, comedian Jerry Lewis dead at 91
Wow . . . he seemed almost timeless. Didn't quite make it to Labor Day weekend this year. 
When I heard of his death, I pictured him in my mind in True Grit, and also thought about the fact that one of my earliest record purchases was one of his albums. One of the celebrity deaths that is more impacting for me.
May he rest in peace, freed from the ravages of Alzheimer's.

My son said that he heard an interview from 2011, with Hal NeedhamH, on NPR (National Public Radio), following his death earlier this week.

I want to thank may2 and Keith for their major contributions to this thread.
I don't know how may2 does it, but she seems to be the first one to find and post in this thread most of the time, and I also appreciate Keith's follow-up posts with pictures of the recently deceased. Even if I don't recognize the name, I often know the person in appearance.
May all these departed stars and others involved in the entertainment industry rest in peace.

I kinda liked to hate Lumpy but--Rest in Peace Frank.,
Eddie Haskell was the character to 'hate', not Lumpy (at least IMHO). Ken Osmond, who played Eddie Haskell, is still alive and well at this time. RIP, Frank Bank.

Fun "tribute" BatjacAuburn . . . wish there was a "Like" button to click!
Country singer George Jones has died...
I guess He Stopped Loving Her Today. RIP Possum, these kids can't Fill Your Shoes...
I was one of few who missed that episode--cant recall why? I was in the 6th grade at the time.
You were in sixth grade - you should not have been watching the show in the first place!
Dallas--I only watched it to keep from going to bed early and most of the time I fell asleep anyway.
I sure miss the days when Magnum P.I. and Simon and Simon were on.
See? You fell asleep - you should have been in bed!
We were also BIG Magnum and Simon & Simon fans!
The Music Man has a special place in my heart, as it prominently features a barbershop quartet - the incomparable "Buffalo Bills," 1950 International Quartet Champions of SPEBSQSA (Barbershop Harmony Society).
As many of you know, I've been a member of the Society since 1979, but sang BBS for years before that, and the movie, released the year after I was born, showcased our artform (one of only 4 original American artforms) with a spectacular quartet.
. . . know that I'm a big R&H fan, having done "Curly" in Oklahoma in summer stock at age 18, and being offered the understudy to that part in the road show revival in 1979. I turned it down to take a college scholarship...I was the first one in my family to go to college.
Tennessean, I appreciated learning these things about you.
You know, these deaths usually happen in threes...makes me nervous!
I know what you mean
I often think the same thing, especially if there two in close succession, then I am wondering who the third one will be.
Thanks for posting this . . . though they obviously missed Klugman, Durning, and Dobe. I like the way they interspersed with scenes from the old drive- in.
I'm not generally superstitious, but since I've been noticing this kind of stuff (about 40 years), they do seem to happen in threes (sometimes more) a very high percentage of the time!
It sure did this time!
I just watched him Sunday week ago on TCM in 3 Godfathers. What a great movie and seeing such an icon leave us is so sad. It saddens me to see them all go. And he was so good. Not the biggest actors out there, but seemed to have a big heart.
R.I.P. Dobe. You're walking to the sunset to see your dad, Duke, Pappy, and so many others. It is sad to see them go. What a life!
Thanks, Mike, for that great pic of Dobe! Very precious.
Mrs. C
In fact her question
Good catch!
Sad news for Sly...

Yeah, if that doesn't make you sick to your stomach . . . .
Thanks for the kind words.
TCM has changed it's regular schedule and has an all day tribute to Ernie on 7/26/12.
The Private Screenings which is only a couple years old is worth watching and/or taping. It's scheduled for 8 PM. Some of the titles are: "Pay or Die" - a real gem, "Torpedo Run", "Ice Station Zebra", "The Dirty Dozen", "Marty", "Here to Eternity" and "The Wild Bun. We deal in lead, friend.
Thanks for the heads up, we don't have cable, but several friends do.

Display MoreI just heard that Ernest Borgnine has passed away at the age of 95. Just incredible about all our heros and great actors. Anyway, one who may not been as big as John Wayne (who is), but one who I enjoyed very much. Marty was his big movie with an Oscar for best actor in a leading role.
From Here from Eternity was another great movie for him.
CheersHondo
Thanks for the pictures, Hondo.
Ernest Borgnine was a well liked and consistant actor throughout his whole career. Rest in Peace, Ernest !

I was just saying to someone VERY recently that Andy Griffith was still alive . . . only to hear this news this morning on the radio . . . so sad 
.
I most recently saw him in this music video with Brad Paisley . . .
[extendedmedia]
He sure kept busy, even into the 'Golden Years' and with several health problems, which he overcame . . .
I'll sure miss him . . . . . .
Mrs. C
Display MoreCan't believe that he was that old, but it only means I am getting older. I only remember him on My Three Sons, and really enjoy the show. He was a cool dude back then. RIP Robbie Douglas.
I know Don Grady.
Cheers
Tell me about it Hondo, as we head toward the "backside" of sixty!
Diffidently, "RIP Robbie Douglas".
Chester
Rest in Peace, Richard Adler. Sounds like he had a full life.
Chester
Yes, RIP, Mr. Neiman.
R.I.P. Mr. Sarris,
Chester
And Ringo, the perspective you have is pretty much my own.
