Peter Rauhofer
Sad news from the music world. Legendary DJ and producer/remixer Peter Rauhofer has died of brain cancer at the really young age of 48. Though Austrian, he was a New York club legend regularly spinning at venues like The Roxy. He was lucky enough to remix EVERYONE from Depeche Mode to Madonna to Kylie Minogue to Pet Shop Boys to Yoko Ono! He even won a Grammy for his remix of Cher’s “Believe.” I saw him spin many times and of course have burned countless calories listening to his remixes at the gym. He may be gone in body, but his music will live on forever. RIP Peter.

Bonnie Franklin
Sad news from all walks of life. Actress Bonnie Franklin, who is best remembered for her role on the show “One Day At A Time” has died at age 69. Bonnie was always very nice when I saw her in Los Angeles back when I lived there. RIP Bonnie. Earlier this week, former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop died and also he was very nice.
C Everett Koop
C. Everett Koop lived to be 96, so that just goes to show once again that health is indeed wealth! RIP Mr. Koop! Finally, I just learned about the death of Baseball Hall of Famer Stan Musial, who passed away earlier in 2013, so I’d like to take this moment to remember a true hero of the game of baseball since now everyone seems to be a juicer who deserves to be forgotten.
Stan Musial
RIP Stan!

Jerry Buss
Dr. Jerry Buss has died. Buss was the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team and was always a nice guy. I’ve met Dr. Buss on so many occasions and he was always extremely friendly. He died from cancer, which is a reminder that health is wealth and to live while you can because nobody lives forever, regardless of how much money you have. RIP Jerry!

Sad news out of Hollywood (via Mississippi). Actor and TV and Radio personality Gary Collins has died. I met Gary and his wife Mary Ann Mobley many times when I was a kid living in California and both Gary and Mary Ann were always very kind to their fans. RIP Gary!
