John Ritter 1948-2003; Johnny Cash 1932-2003
I'm usually one of the first to make a morbid joke when a celebrity dies; perhaps it's my way of dealing with mortality.

But no jokes today. In particular, Ritter's sudden death last night, at the young age of 55, is truly a sad shock. By all accounts, he was one of the good guys in TV. The fact that he collapsed on the set of his TV show, with no previous sign of heart trouble, makes it all the more tragic. RIP, Jack Tripper, and you too, Man In Black.
