Pay a tribute to someone we lost in 2009 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

There have been so many... this is dedicated to them.

(Let's try to do this one at a time.)

I'm going to start with Natasha Richardson. A beautiful actress and a great lady. We lost her far too soon. Rest in Peace, Tasha.

I know they weren't famous, but two teachers who worked in my school system passed away this year. We also lost our former superintendent. They were decided individuals who enriched the minds of many children over the years.

My favorite actor of all time Paul Newman died this past year. I love his movies! Especially "The Hustler", "Hud" and "The Long Hot Summer". So glad that we still have his films. He was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!And so handsome!

My favorite actress Bea Arthur. She was a good Golden Girl star on TV and also good on Maude. She was a good play role model as Dorothy Zbornak on "The Golden Girls." Rest In Peace Bea!

I would like to pay tribute to several people. The first is John Hughes who was a great screenwriter and director. The gifts he gave to the world will never die.

I would also like to pay tribute to John Hughes. He was one of the greatest screenwriters ever.

This is hard but my tribute goes to my Aunt Rosita who passed away last month. I loved her and I hope she is resting in peace.

My tribute is to Patrick Swayze. I never met him but he seemed like a wonderful person who loved life and lived it to the fullest. Even when he was diagnosed with that horrible pancreatic cancer that took his life, he continued to work as much as he could while showing incredible strength. I bet he's as beautiful now as a real angel as he was in "Ghost" pretending to be one.

We love you Patrick. Thank you for all the joy you've brought to us.

Despite his many problems, Michael Jackson gave millions of fans many years of great
music and entertainment. Gone too soon. Here's how I like to remember Michael.

Philip Carey, who brought to life the character of Asa Buchanan on "One Life to Live" for close to 30 years.

Farrah Fawcett. Such an incredible talent, gone far too soon. I'm in the process of watching Small Sacrifices right now, and it's beyond me how she didn't win any award for it.

Not hugely known, but opera singer Hildegard Behrens passed away this year as well. She was a fantastic soprano, one of the best Wagnerian singers of all time. She also went to the same school I did in Germany. Auf Wiedersehen, Hildegard!

Larry Gelbart, amazing man who created M*A*S*H and many other great shows!

My friend John Dolbier of Mindoro Wisconsin was killed in a car accident 10-8-09

Gosh, sadly, there have been so many - but Patrick Swayze's death really hit me hard - he struggled so and put up an amazing fight against what's probably the WORST and deadliest form of cancer. What a valiant and brave man.

And of course poor Farrah who also fought hard.

Some people's grit and courage can really be mind blowing and strong inspiration.
