User blog:SnowyMountain/RIP 2016

Well, 2016 is going to over and done with in a few short hours (at least from where I'm sitting). And this year has been a hard one in my opinion. We lost quite a few people in this short year. They made us laugh, they made us cry, we plunked ourselves in front of the TV to watch them or went out to the movie theaters to watch them on the silver screen. They were some of our best and brightest and many of them were gone too soon. Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen.

So, fell free to list anyone that I may have missed that passed away this year and deserves a nod in your favorite roles.
