I take the liberty of creating this topic, which existed on the Bethesda.net forum, for the reporting of passings/departures of significance to us.

I begin, fittingly enough, with the Bethesda.net forums themselves. I visited there just before returning here to create this topic. The Community Forum no longer allows postings/replies. That's new since I last visited there earlier today. The end draws nigh.

Also, an ending looms ever nearer in another field I have a special interest in, the Silent Film era. I have been following a Wiki list of surviving silent film actors for years, possibly decades. I've watched that list slowly but steadily decline, as actor after actor passed. It's down to three individuals now. All were, of course, child actors during the silent era. Two are brothers from a large, long-lived family. Seven or eight of them remained on the list for quite some time. The third was an extra in a number of Our Gang (later called Little Rascals) silent era shorts. Her sister, who passed long ago, was an Our Gang lead at the time. Ages range from 92 to 97. There are a few older actors still with us, but they began their careers later in life, thus made no silents.

The fairly recent passing that saddened me most was one of very few US political figures / (former) office holders I retain a decent amount of respect for. As we don't get 'political' here, I'll say no more, not even his/her name.

Those who watched / enjoyed 'pro' wrestling back in the day might or might not have heard that Bobby Eaton, part of The Midnight Express, recently passed. Here's Jim Cornette's reminiscences of / tribute to Eaton, from his podcast as uploaded to YouTube:

(audio podcast) Jim Cornette Experience: Remembering "Beautiful" Bobby Easton (audio Podcast)

Cornette has trouble getting started, understandable considering his long involvement with Eaton. Thankfully, the co-host gets things on-track. Once Cornette gets going, he's his normal talkative self.
