RIP Sir Frank Williams. Dude made the most of what ought to have been a much shorter life.
:cry:

Legit hero.

Wasn't he one of the longest-surviving quadriplegics in medical history after his accident in 1986?

I remember Alan Jones winning the Championship on white/green Williams-Saudia in 1980 (one of the Czech magazine for kids had a paper model of that car - and I was eternally disappointed when that issue was sold out before it hit newspaper stands...)

So - I was actually somewhat surprised Frank was alive until yesterday...

Wow

For some reason those photos make me more sad than when I initially heard the news.

Amazing how they always found ways to crowbar a song and dance routine into the show for him.

RIP Edward Shames, the last surviving officer of Easy Company and oldest surviving member.
Edward Shames, a World War II veteran who was the last surviving officer of “Easy Company,” which inspired the HBO miniseries and book “Band of Brothers,” has died. He was 99.

An obituary posted by the Holomon-Brown Funeral Home & Crematory said Shames, of Norfolk, Virginia, died peacefully at his home on Friday.

Shames was involved in some of the most important battles of World War II. During the war, he was a member of the renowned Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division.

“He made his first combat jump into Normandy on D-Day as part of Operation Overlord. He volunteered for Operation Pegasus and then fought with Easy Company in Operation Market Garden and the Battle of the Bulge in Bastogne,” according to the obituary.

Shames was the first member of the 101st to enter Dachau concentration camp, just days after its liberation.

“When Germany surrendered, Ed and his men of Easy Company entered Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest where Ed managed to acquire a few bottles of cognac, a label indicating they were ‘for the Fuhrer’s use only.’ Later, he would use the cognac to toast his oldest son’s bar mitzvah,” the obituary said.

Really sad to hear. My former colleague and his son especially are HUGE Monkees fans. Nesmith and Dolenz routinely correspond with his son and they have invited him up on stage a couple times. Bummer.
