The morbid post

So, 2016 seems to be the year that everyone is dying. It actually started on December 31st, 2015, when I heard that Natalie Cole had passed away. Since then, it seems that a lot of celebs and people of note have passed away this year. You can find a lot of lists on the internet (I used Wikipedia), but here are a few of the ones that had an impact on me:

January 6 – Pat Harrington Jr.
January 10 – David Bowie
January 14 – Alan Rickman
January 14 – Rene Angelil
January 15 – Dan Haggerty
January 18 – Glenn Frey
January 26 – Abe Vigoda
February 19 - Harper Lee
March 6 - Nancy Reagan
March 22 - Rob Ford
March 24 - Garry Shandling
March 29 - Patty Duke
April 17 - Doris Roberts
April 21 - Prince
May 19 - Morley Safer
June 3 - Muhammad Ali
June 10 - Gordie Howe
June 19 - Anton Yelchin
July 19 - Garry Marshall
August 29 - Gene Wilder
September 25 - Arnold Palmer
October 13 - Jim Prentice
November 7 – Leonard Cohen
November 14 - Janet Wright
November 21 - Jim Munro
November 23 - Andrew Sachs
November 24 – Florence Henderson
November 25 – Fidel Castro
December 8 - John Glenn

A lot of people are saying that they can't wait to see the end of 2016. It hasn't been a great year for us either, so I'm kind of with them.
