Thanks, Robert. Worth a look. RIP to all of them, indeed!

Cheers

Every year the New York Times (on the last issue for the year on a Sunday) has a special necropolis magazine section with articles about some of the celebrities who passed that year. It did not happen this year - possibly just too many really big names.

Unless they waited for the week after the last Sunday to do a retrospective.

Apparently you missed the New York Times Magazine spread, Jeff. I posted on December 29 for Steadmund Brand in "The Greatest" thread --

There's a good tribute to Muhammad Ali by Greg Howard in last Sunday's New York Times Magazine that is worth reading (the link leads to articles on other notables lost in 2016 such as David Bowie, Natalie Cole, Antonin Scalia, etc.):
