Yeah, I've known who he was for quite some time, but even before I knew his name it was like "oh, that guy." Usually a bad guy or tough guy.Originally posted by Trey Strain View Post

RIP Mr. Smith. Oddly enough the first thing I can remember seeing him was in Cronenberg's off-kitler random racing movie Fast Company. Dude was a real physical presence.Comment

WWE Hall Of Famer 'Mr. Wonderful' Paul Orndorff has sadly passed away aged 71, according to his son on social media.
His son Travis posted:
"It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of my father, Paul Parlette Orndorff Jr. . He is better known as “Mr. #1derful” Paul Orndorff. Most of you will remember him for his physique. Many will remember his intensity. But if I could only get you to understand and see his heart. He will always be Pop, Paw Paw, and Daddy at home. And as much as many of you hated him as a wrestler, he absolutely loved you for it. He was an amazing father that showed me more love than I ever deserved. I love you Daddy.

Former Gov. Edwin W. Edwards, who embodied Louisiana’s populist era in the late 20th century — championing the poor and ushering Black people and women into state government but also facing repeated accusations of corruption before finally being sent to prison for taking bribes — died just before 7 a.m. Monday at his home in Gonzales.
He was 93.
The cause of death: respiratory problems that had plagued him in recent years, said Leo Honeycutt, his biographer. Friends and family surrounded his bedside.Comment

I'm very sorry that he's gone. But I'm having some trouble believing that the family can't afford to bury him.Originally posted by Mister.Weirdo View Post
EDIT: Wait, I just saw that he was living in a nursing home and suffering from dementia. I happen to know that that can wipe a person out financially fast, because it happened to a wealthy relative of mine. So yes, I can believe that he was broke.Last edited by Trey Strain; 07-12-2021, 07:24 PM.Comment

I worked in assistant living for a year in the kitchen. Youd be amazed how much it can be. Based on what the individual needs where i worked it was like 1300 monthly cheapest 8 grand monthly. It also depends on the area. The nurses only make like 15 . Imo they deserve 30 a hour for dealing with death being hit bit cleaning piss and shit. Im a man i cant do what they do. I remember finding someone dead when delivering food to there room. I told those nurses thank god for them and the nurses were late 40's 50's the oldeest being 61 all womenOriginally posted by Trey Strain View Post.................................................. ..........................

Gloria Richardson, an influential yet largely unsung civil rights pioneer whose determination not to back down while protesting racial inequality was captured in a photograph as she pushed away the bayonet of a National Guardsman, has died. She was 99.
Tya Young, her granddaughter, said Richardson died in her sleep Thursday in New York City and had not been ill. Young said while her grandmother was at the forefront of the civil rights movement, she didn’t seek praise or recognition.
“She did it because it needed to be done, and she was born a leader,” Young said.
Richardson was the first woman to lead a prolonged grassroots civil rights movement outside the Deep South. In 1962, she helped organized and led the Cambridge Movement on Maryland’s Eastern Shore with sit-ins to desegregate restaurants, bowling alleys and movie theaters in protests that marked an early part of the Black Power movement.Comment

Not THAT Jerry Lewis!
https://apnews.com/article/governmen...49470907c77210
Former Republican Rep. Jerry Lewis, who became a hero in his community for steering hundreds of millions of federal dollars to projects in his inland Southern California district, but was criticized as an exemplar of pork-barrel spending abuses, has died. He was 86.
His death was announced in a statement by California Republican Rep. Ken Calvert, who said on his website that Lewis “made an enormous impact on his district, the state of California and our nation.”
Calvert said that “if Jerry was ever criticized, it was for delivering too much and too often for his district. Our country would be a far better place if all of our public servants worked as tirelessly and effectively for the people they represented as Jerry Lewis did.”Comment
