Bob Newhart, Duke Fakir, John Mayall, Jerry Miller, Shelley Duvall and Martin Mull RIP -- July 24, 2024

Bob Newhart has died. He was close in age to my father, and his dry humor reminded me of my dad and his brothers from Ohio. I like to think that I carry on the tradition. I watched his television shows and I was happy to see that he appeared in many movies in more recent years.

Duke Fakir, the last surviving member of the original Four Tops, John Mayall of John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers and Jerry Miller of Moby Grape have died.

Shelley Duvall died. I liked her in big parts and small, and even in Popeye. I have not seen The Shining

Martin Mull died in late June. I didn't watch Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman or Fernwood2Night. The humor didn't do much for me. I liked his later work in movies and television.
