Hail and Farewell to Those We Lost in 2014-- Part 1

From the Dec. 28, 2014, CBS Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood.  This is accompanied by a video which is well worth writing.

These are most, but not all of the ones listed which was quite a long group of names.  These are ones that had an impact on me, whether I'd ever heard of their name or not.

ROBIN WILLIAMS--  Has to be considered one of the funniest guys ever.  "Good Morning Vietnam!!!"

PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN--  Movie actor I was just becoming familiar with at the time of his death.

GEOFFREY HOLDER--  Pitchman for 7-Up.  You had to love that voice.

RUTH ROBINSON DUCCHINI--  The last female Munchkin.  Loved those Munchkins and the movie.  That 1939 special effects.  Wow!!

RICHARD KIEL--  He was huge in size and heart.  James Bond's nemesis.

RUSSELL JOHNSON--  "Gilligan's Island" professor.  All those inventions and he still couldn't get off that island.

Hoffman - An extremely talented actor who still had plenty of room to further develop his craft. Of all of the losses in 2014, it is his work I will miss the most
