FWIW, I contributed to the feedback page on the Beeb for the article which claimed "Two died ..." stating that, in fact, three died.

[QUOTE=chalsall;416324]Few, if any of you, will know of Roosevelt King, the Secretary General of the Barbados Association of Non-Governmental Organisations (BANGO).[/QUOTE]

Attended ROK AKA "Ty's" "Celebration of Life" this morning.

Quite beautiful; over 200 people in attendance. African drums and dancing, choir and reggae music; amusing stories and tributes from old friends demonstrating just what a remarkable man he was. I think each and every participant learnt something new about the uniqueness and remarkable accomplishments of Roosevelt.

RIP "Soldier for the people"! You have left very big shoes to fill, but helped many aspire to such greatness.

It is very good to know that Bim has had such heroes.

[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezzard_Charles]Ezzard Charles[/url] is an example of a natural light-heavy who had more success as a heavyweight - Charles defeated the equally-legendary Archie Moore in all 3 of their meetings (!) and gave Rocky Marciano (who was, or became, good friends with Ez) 2 of the toughest fights of the latter's career before tragically succumbing to ALS at age 53.

I know this really don't belong here, but I putting it here anyways. [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clara_Oswald"]Clara Oswald[/URL], a Doctor Who companion.

I'm sure there are enough other Doctor Who fans on this board who know the character I'm referring to. Unlike most fans, I will not miss her character. She was reckless and arrogant in a way that we haven't seen since Adric (whom I actually liked).

Last day of 2015: [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natalie_Cole]Natalie Cole[/url], daughter of legendary jazz singer Nat King Cole who became an R&B legend in her own right, age 65.

Was just listening to some of her great Christmas song recordings this past week.
