This was a terrible year for the lose of icons.
Just to mention a few others I will miss as well in no particular order.
Peter O'Toole, Jonathan Winters, Lou Reed, James Gandolfini, Nelson Mandela, Annette Funicello, Roger Ebert, Tom Clancy, Margret Thatcher, Jean Stapleton, George Jones, and Clarence Clemons. My apologies if any names were misspelled. Also my list is incomplete. RIP to them all.
