Diego Maradona died recently at the age of 60. 

He was one of the best and most influental football (soccer in this case) players ever. 

I know soccer isn´t a big thing in US, but for us Europians and South Americans it is huge, and Maradona was a legend. 

Talented but troubled, and because of the troubles he fade away. RIP.

Aww bummer, there goes a big piece of my childhood.  Watching Lenny and Squiggy do their "burst through the door - Hello!" was the highlight of any episode of Laverne and Shirley.

Tiny Lister died. While many people remember him as Zeus or Deebo, for my money his best role was as a prisoner in The Dark Knight
