In Memoriam: 2011
Along with some notorious dictators and international terrorists that we were happy to see go, we lost a lot of people this year that we wish could have stayed on this mortal coil just a little bit longer. There were Hollywood icons (Elizabeth Taylor), rock & roll saxophonists (Clarence Clemons) and a few too many cast members from “Celebrity Rehab” (Jeff Conaway, Mike Starr). We lost that lady who stood next to Bob Dylan on his “Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan” album (Suze Rotolo), professional wrestler “Macho Man” Randy Savage bit into that giant Slim Jim in the sky at age 58, and Uncle Leo from “Seinfeld” (Len Lesser) said, “Jerry! Goodbye!” Here’s a look at some other notable people who passed away in 2011.
