Stan Berenstain, co-author of the Bearenstain Bears died at age 82.

So long Papa Bear, may you find your rest & peace in the great tree house in the sky.

Bob Denver, died September 2nd, 2005. You can read his obit on the aptly named, "Blog of Death".

I watched way too many hours of Gilligan's Island re-runs growing up to not take notice of Bob Denver's passing. The show is probably more like life in modern corporate America than I would have ever guessed as a child.

In case you were wondering, I had the hots for Ginger initially, but grew fond of Mary Ann later in life.

Robert McCloskey, 88, author of "Make Way For Ducklings" died yesterday. (As I famously said when Eugene Ionesco died, "I didn't know he was alive.")

Wherever you are Robert, I hope Clancy is holding traffic for you while you cross over the street.
