Burt Young, 83 (Paulie from Rocky)
Tell me you didn’t think he’d died years ago.
I know I did.
"No Tom Foolery today, Ron. I'm tired of looking at your dreadful, speckled mug." "Why do you hurt me in this way, Harry?" ”It’s a grid system motherfucker. Eleven up and one over, you simple bitch.”

A lady I used to work with was his 4th cousin. She's still in my fantasy football league. In hindsight, I regret not asking her if we could invite him to join our league.

Dude has clearly lost his fucking mind.
Anarky gets…a point? And yet Keanu Reeves still walks the earth.

Bobby Knight. Former long time Indiana basketball coach and infamous temper tantrum-er. 83 after a long illness and general decline in health.
I was not a big sports enthusiast when I was little, but even I knew who Bobby Knight was.

Yes, but when I saw Bill & Ted I said “hey, the guy from Lethal Weapon 2!” Not the other way around.
He also had a small role in Hunt for Red October as the Soviet ambassador.
