Cindy Nicholas was only 58. She was MUCH younger when she set the record as the youngest woman to swim Lake Ontario. she also gained notoriety for her crossings of the English Channel, including a double crossing (iirc).
I remember seeing Howe play when he was with Hartford. He was old, obviously, but still didn't seem out of place all that much. Checking the stats he got 41 points in 80 games; 15 goals. Pretty good in this day and age, even for guys younger than 50 years old.
And I remember the 1980 Allstar game, when they made a big deal about Howe and this new kid Gretzky playing along side each other. Talk about passing the torch.
He was a role model to many kids growing up in the 50s and 60s.

Rest in peace, you beauty.
They played along side each each other on the 1979 WHA All Star team. Against each other in the 80 NHL All Star game.
Michael Cimino was the Director of the Deer Hunter. He was 77
Elie Weisel survived Auschwitz to become a world famous writer, and win the Nobel Peace Prize. He was 87 years old, and his passing is a great loss to this world.
DrTyore's Smart Car. Rumour has it that it was chased down by a Pomeranian that broke free from Granny's grasp, and the impact of it's collision with the door, not to mention the damage caused by the cutest little cubic zirconia encrusted collar, was enough for the insurance company to write it off.
Fortunately Mark survived with what was left of his dignity intact. Apparently, he got her number, too (Granny's, not the Pomeranian's)
Every PGA Tour pro should get down on their knees to thank the almighty for Arnold Palmer. They would not be making the kind of money they do without him.
Palmer, great loss, OTOH, I will never mourn, nor will I call it a great tragedy when a dumb ass drives his boat full speed into a jetty in the dark. Darwin award winner tho...

It was actually a hit and run by some rando, and that infuriates me to no end.
