I’m going to sound like a Mel Brooks commentary track for a second:

John Candy as Barg - Such a lovely man, shame he’s dead.

John Hurt from Alien - Wonderful actor, he’s dead.

Joan Rivers as Dot Matrix - Shame she’s dead.

Dom DeLuise as the voice of Pizza the Hutt - I loved that man, he’s dead.

Dick Van Patten as King Roland - He’s dead.

Ronny Graham as the minister - And he’s dead.

And if we are lucky we’ll all each reach a point in our lives where most everyone we ever knew is dead and we’re there just… hanging on.

Sometimes I think about the perspective of my 80 year old neighbors. Every day could be their last. I suppose the world would be a better place if everyone of all ages realized how fragile and fleeting this life is.
