Actor Ronnie Schell has passed away at the age of 94. He was Duke on "Gomer Pyle, USMC" and Marlo Thomas' agent on "That Girl". He was also in "The Cat From Outer Space", voicing the the alien cat Jake. He did a lot of voice work on cartoons, such as "Goober and the Ghost Chasers".
And Jason on "Battle of the Planets". Just took a look at his Wikipedia page, wow he had guest appearances on tons of tv shows! At least half of them were shows I watched growing up.
 
David / Dee Palmer (1937-2026) keyboard player and arranger involved with Jethro Tull from 1969 through 1980. Also a reminder of what it used to mean to be transgender: born intersex, assigned male at birth, underwent several surgeries in his/her twenties, always experienced dysphoria, then came out in 1998 at age 61 before it was cool.

Quote from band leader Ian Anderson I found humorous.
My own favourite personal memories are mostly of the pipe-smoking, deep-voiced and creative co-conspirator with whom I enjoyed many a hot curry and a good blether under billowing clouds of St Bruno flake.
