| What I want to know is when did Mike Evens & Tom Willis. From the jeffersons die. I didn't hear that they died. On the show Entertainment Tonight they showed every one that passed and I didnt see their names.

| Thanks for the list Cheryl. I forgot about the death of Patsy Ramsey, I really felt for her, for all the difficulties she went through after the death of her beautiful daughter.
To add the #5 on my list: The death of Nixzmary Brown (local news from NY), the abused and battered 7-year-old killed by her abusive step-father and neclect mother, in what cops called a "house of horrors". Poor girl!

Mike Evans died on December 14th and Franklin Cover on February 5th. I know there were a lot who died that I hadn't heard about on the list too.
