Thank you for the respectful way you present these passings. There are other RUclips channels doing this but yours is the one I “look forward “ to each week.
So saddened to hear of Dick Butkus’ passing. He was an amazing football player and the epitome of a Chicago Bear. My condolences to his family and friends.
Eddie VH was one of the very best and yes it is hard to believe it’s 3 years since he went to play in the band of all time greats in the great beyond !!
Tim Wakefield and Dick Butkus really hurts. They were such big names when I was little and I was rooting for Tim to win the world series even though I did not like the red sox. He was such a humble man and Dick was just a legend
It felt like an especially sad episode this week. I guess maybe because there were so many young and tragic passings. Hearing of Dick Butkus' passing, reminded me of my dearly departed dad. We alwaus watched football and basketball games together, when I was growing up in the 50s and 60s in Chicago. Even after six years, I miss you terribly, Dad. RIP
Dick Butkis played as Tank Mc Namerra on a television special as one of our favorite comic strip characters on Mother's Day in 1983. And Tom Petty was the voice of Lucky on King of The Hill.
I can't bear to hear about those dying too soon. My only sister passed from Covid in 2020 at the age of 36. Echo also was gone way too soon at 39. May they all RIP. 😔
i am sorry for your sister and your family 🙏 2020 was a bad year altogether but it took some special people like your sister and my mother. such a horrible time. i pray for your good health and well being! 🙏
So sorry you lost your sister at such a young age-- but I know you have many cherished memories that when you close your eyes- she is with you again🙏❤️
Calgary Flames Fans & the Hockey World as a whole are mourning Chris Snow's passing. Chris & his incredible wife Kelsie, along w/their amazing young children Cohen & Willa, fought ALS w/grace, courage & all of it publicly. They didn't need to do that, but they did & all try to help someone else. It's such a huge loss, but especially for his Family & Friends. GodSpeed Snowy. You fought so hard down here. May the Angels sing you to your fest. 😊😔💐
Butkus was the fiercest most brutal tackler in football history! There have been bigger, faster linebackers but none have matched his intensity! I loved watching this man play football! Rip Mr Butkis!!!!!
RIP everyone..and wow Dick butkis was in Nessciary roughness that was filmed in the university in my home town..and you showed Ronnie McDowell he was friends with my cousin who passed in a house fire in the 60s she was a. A actress that worked with Tyrone powers alot..my sincerest condolences to all the families
Dick Butkus also appeared alongside Carl Weathers in The Six Million Dollar Man episode "One Of Our Runningbacks Is Missing". They played a couple of convicts. The episode was directed by series star Lee Majors. Rest in peace, Dick.
I'm from Chicago and was very saddened when I read of Dick Butkus's passing in our newspaper yesterday. He was just here on September 10th for the Bears opening game. He was a great legend for our city and will be sorely missed. RIP
TY for your beautiful tributes & half-staff memorials. You always do a beautiful job & they are so reverent. Lifting prayers & condolences for all their loved ones. God Bless You & stay safe.
What I remember most about Dick Butkus is what the late Brian Piccolo said about him one time during a practice session: Coach: Piccolo, what's your job on the field? Piccolo: To block the rusher, coach. Unless the rusher is Dick Butkus. Then you send the quarterback a priest.
Damn… Dick Butkus and Bob Sheridan 😢… good memories growing up with these guys… also I didn’t even think about the narrator even having a name… she’s just so soothing I don’t even think about it… but ole boy did a good job too 😂.
While I'm glad Eddie Van Halen was remembered on the anniversary of his passing, I'm upset that they left out another great guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan. He was born October 3, 1954 & was taken from us way too soon in a helicopter crash in August 1990
thank you for always keeping us informed and for honoring all those who have passed today and in the past and love that you include military, police, fire fighters and many more from their community. rest in peace angels you will all be missed 🙏❤
A big movie for Bette Davis was Now Voyager. Ben Hur starring Charleston Heston, was magnificent. That includes the music score by Miklos Rozsa. A Power house; must see.
Tim Wakefield and Russ Francis gone in the same week. Rough week for Boston sports stars. Rest easy, Wake! Don't knuckle under. And Russ -- keep blocking and reaching for paydirt.
They didn't say she represented Maryland, only that Maryland was choosing to lower its state flag at the same time that many U.S. flags were being lowered across the country. I will look it up in a moment, but my guess is maybe it was her birthplace. ETA: made an attempt at a search, but all I could find seemed to indicate it was being lowered by the state because the US flag was being lowered, and that rules, so nearly as I can tell, is in most if not all states. At any rate, the point still stands that they never said she was the senator from Maryland.
Just saw an 1980's episode of "Night Court" which featured Dick Butkus in a comedic role. Very sad to hear of his passing. May he rest in heavenly peace.
Dick did his fair share of acting. Brian's Song, an episode of The Six Million Dollar Man, the original The Longest Yard, Unnecessary Roughness, Night Court. Just to name a few.
@@jon2849obviously not familiar with him. There's no one living who would ever consider making fun of his name. You'd definitely need a dentist if you did. He grew up in a tough neighborhood in Chicago and played pro football prior to most of the player safety rules they have now.
He and Linnea are easier to understand. They also get dates and facts more correctly. How many of these sites even give honors to those who were American veterans, first responders, ordinary citizens, athletes, celebrities and politicians?
Me too. I really appreciate that this channel uses real people to do the reading instead of robots.. and that they do their best to pronounce names correctly.
I didn't even like football and I knew who Dick Butkus (corrected sp) was. Sad to hear he passed. I still miss Loretta Lynn and Eddie Van Halen. I even remember watching the older stars like Gene Autry, Bette Davis and Charlton Heston.
I'm not familiar with most of these people. My heart goes out to their families. I note many of these people died young (before 50). I am familiar with Dick Butkus. I feel old some days and today is one.
rest in peace brooks robinson and dianne feinstein i went to visit out side of the orioles stadium to take a picture with his statue he was my fathers favorite player we in maryland are definitely mourning for 2 wonderful people 🙏
Hello, Long time viewer 1st time commenter. I want to applaud the narrator for saying LaPlace, LA correctly. I am from there and alot of people say it wrong!
My thoughts are with all family members left behind and are beginning the very painful process of grieving for their precious loved ones❤❤ Does anyone know what the illness ALS stand for and what it entails please?.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease - the NIH (National Institutes for Health) notes that the disease "affects motor neurons-those nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement. Voluntary muscles are those we choose to move to produce movements like chewing, walking, and talking." It's a disease that slowly takes away so many abilities of the person and often they waste away. It's a truly tragic disease that takes its toll over years and takes many well before their time.
Tim Wakefield was a famous knuckleball pitcher for the Red Sox. Knuckleballers are a very rare breed of pitchers. Season’s over, Tim. You earned a rest.
Hi @fayettebrown2312 -- thank you for watching. That's our chief editor Stephen, sitting in temporarily for our news editor and regular narrator Linnea. You can hear Linnea and Stephen together in our "Immortalized" podcast series here: ruclips.net/p/PL4XW2Z4C-yZHuLr4d8B5qiGT6mgTEPyKz
I don't know why I watch this cause it just makes me sad and tearing eyes. I am sorry to hear that dick has passed. I don't really care for football but do remember seeing dick in the movies and on the TV. They have walked the last step and paid the debt we still owe the living. So to all the ones on the first week of October my deepest condolences go out to each family member and to say I love you each and every one. God Bless every one.
@@tejaswoman Its always interesting to learn about a women who was born in the early 1900's learning all about architecture which was a mans job back then teaching her skills to women. I know when my ancestors came over on the boat from Italy and my uncles opened up their shops here in the US fixing shoes and clothes and nobody questioned what they did but I guarantee their mother (my grandmother)was the person who taught them how to sew. Double standard here. So Beverly Willis certainly was a pioneer and a person women should look up to especially the time period. I still believe for every successful man in this world there's a powerhouse woman standing at the forefront 😂
Russell Batiste was a really good drummer, putting the "funk" rhythm in the forefront during his time with the Funky Meters. Look up "Cissy Strut" if you don't recognize the implications of "funk."
8:52 Yes, Gene Autry did have a hit with Back in the Saddle Again, but he's probably better known for his other hit song, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
Our regular narrator, Linnea, is off this week. She will return next week.
So nice that you don’t use AI.
@@JoshuaCollections I believe you can go to CDC.gov for that info
You're both top notch!😊
I hope she's doing well. Love hearing her warm welcoming voice as well as yours.
Love that human beings narrate instead of using AI😊
Thank you for the respectful way you present these passings. There are other RUclips channels doing this but yours is the one I “look forward “ to each week.
Agree!!!
No lies.
So true. Beware of imitations!
Thank you. 😢. I love how you profile military member’s service regardless of country. So respectful. Important to recognize their amazing service.
So saddened to hear of Dick Butkus’ passing. He was an amazing football player and the epitome of a Chicago Bear. My condolences to his family and friends.
One of the toughest men the NFL produced.
The best of the best. He played with a determined ferociousness few have matched.
3 years since the death of Eddie VH. Still hard to believe he’s gone. RIP Dick Butkus & all these folks. Shocked to hear of Tim Wakefield’s passing
Eddie VH was one of the very best and yes it is hard to believe it’s 3 years since he went to play in the band of all time greats in the great beyond !!
Eddie was truly a shooting star.
The gentleman's voice and tone are incredibly soothing and deeply respectful.
Nice to hear your soothing voice.
Thank you. Beautifully and respectfully presented. RIP to all who passed this week.
Dick Butkus is my defensive hero it's such a shame to see him gone
Tim Wakefield and Dick Butkus really hurts. They were such big names when I was little and I was rooting for Tim to win the world series even though I did not like the red sox. He was such a humble man and Dick was just a legend

Butkus also played Drootin in Hamburger The Motion Picture.
Doesn't seem like it's been 3 yrs ago today, that Eddie Van Halen passed,he was a great guitarist. May all who passed RIP😢💔🙏
Eddie was a mastermind. And what a smile….
@@seagullpoetYes. He was so talented and was everything 80's rock band! I feel for Valerie Bertinelli and their son too.
I can't bear to hear about those dying too soon. My only sister passed from Covid in 2020 at the age of 36. Echo also was gone way too soon at 39. May they all RIP. 😔

Butkus: most feared tackler
Butkus was the fiercest most brutal tackler in football history! There have been bigger, faster linebackers but none have matched his intensity! I loved watching this man play football! Rip Mr Butkis!!!!!
Dick Butkus was also in the movie; "Deadly Games" in 1982 and played wrestler "The Exterminator" on a "Matlock" episode.
Russ Francis was one of my favorites back when I was a kid.
RIP everyone..and wow Dick butkis was in Nessciary roughness that was filmed in the university in my home town..and you showed Ronnie McDowell he was friends with my cousin who passed in a house fire in the 60s she was a. A actress that worked with Tyrone powers alot..my sincerest condolences to all the families
SNL.. Dick Butkus... Da Bears... Classic 😂
Dick Butkus also appeared alongside Carl Weathers in The Six Million Dollar Man episode "One Of Our Runningbacks Is Missing". They played a couple of convicts. The episode was directed by series star Lee Majors. Rest in peace, Dick.
Carl Weathers was in Rocky and Butkus was Rocky's/Sylvester's dog in the movie.
Janis Joplin was one of the greatest singers of her generation. Still one of Port Arthur, Texas', most famous native residents.
Condolences To All Family Member's
Condolences to the families of those who passed. Also it is nice to remember those who have gone before. RIP everyone ❤

Few realize what a master Dom Famularo was. I'm happy you included him here
Damn… Dick Butkus and Bob Sheridan 😢… good memories growing up with these guys… also I didn’t even think about the narrator even having a name… she’s just so soothing I don’t even think about it… but ole boy did a good job too 😂.
So sad how many young people we are losing. May all have eternal peace and rest. 🕊️❤️🙏
Enjoyed both of you, for your narration
While I'm glad Eddie Van Halen was remembered on the anniversary of his passing, I'm upset that they left out another great guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan. He was born October 3, 1954 & was taken from us way too soon in a helicopter crash in August 1990
Love this guy's voice.
Me too!
Rip Ms Echo Brown she was such a positive woman who uplifted black women

Red Sox Nation is in mourning for Tim Wakefield. Gone too soon.
We sure are . I’m originally from Quincy Massachusetts, but I live in Saint Pete now so very sad about Tim.
I looked at Tim’s stats. I was floored at how good of a pitcher he truly was.
Good job!
Gosh I cant believe its six years since Tom Petty died. RIP
Dom Famularo was incredible with people, probably why he was a great instructor. He obviously had the skills. Rest in peace
Tim Wakefield and Russ Francis gone in the same week. Rough week for Boston sports stars. Rest easy, Wake! Don't knuckle under. And Russ -- keep blocking and reaching for paydirt.
Rest well Echo Brown. Such a great talent gone all too soon.
The lady voice or man voice. Love them both. Thanks.
I started crying when I saw Eddie Van Halen. Love and miss you Eddie.
I Just Found Out That 2 Famous People Who Are So Very Much Famous Just Passed Away Like For Tim Wakefield And Dick Butkus
Good night beautiful souls . Sleep in eternal peace, my condolences to all their families and friends 🌹🌹🌹🙏🏼
Dianne Feinstein was the Senator from California, not Maryland. 😢
They didn't say she represented Maryland, only that Maryland was choosing to lower its state flag at the same time that many U.S. flags were being lowered across the country. I will look it up in a moment, but my guess is maybe it was her birthplace.

Dick Butkus! Wow! What a huge personality. I think of him as being forever the same as he was on commercials and commentating.
Constantly hearing young and relating to a certain procedure
RIP Russ Francis(49ers) 🙏🏾 🙏🏾 🙏🏾
I like this reader's voice.
I do too.

Tim Wakefield and Dick Butkus 😢
I'm not familiar with most of these people. My heart goes out to their families. I note many of these people died young (before 50). I am familiar with Dick Butkus. I feel old some days and today is one.

My Deepest Condolences & Sorrowful For The Families Affected. REST IN PEACE 🕊 🙏 😔 🕊 🙏
Thanks
Dick Butkus was and is a legend. RIP.
The Voice in Black is back together with Cowboy Jack. Thanks for the great songs.
Unfortunately,we will all end up on a similar list like this someday!
No, no one will notice I'm gone so I won't be listed anywhere.
