Al Kaline was the GREATEST EVER Detroit Tigers player! He needed to be included!

[@captaincarl8230]

At the time of death, Tom Seaver was also suffering from dementia, which was diagnosed and announced in 2019. Also, Mac Davis wrote "In the Ghetto", which was a big hit for Elvis Presley.

[@sar4x474]

There were many great people lost in 2020, but James Lipton was an absolute national treasure that I hope people who are unfamiliar with his work take some time to explore.

[@abclib32]

Well done. Hard to include everyone but I would like to add John Prine, Basketball HOF Wes Unseld, Harold Reid (Statler Brothers) as well as the great Hall of Fame Baseball players Pitcher Bob Gibson and 2B Joe Morgan. Finally, I lost both parents to the evil Covid-19 in 2020. They are so missed every day. May all rest well.

[@eva5601]

Blame Covid on Dr. Evil, Fauci. I wish you can overcome your grief just a little, so not to live in sadness. 🙏🏻

I was lucky enough to see the Charlie Daniels Band in concert once. I also loved Sir Sean Connery as Indy’s dad in INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE.

[@tdhjim1]

I was lucky enough to see him twice, and Jerry Jeff Walker about 4 times

Chadwick Boseman's passing was such a shock. Rest in peace, King.

[@philipmancera2505]

Michael Angelis too.

[@JamesFrost74659]

After watching these videos, (very well done,) I kind of feel a bit more lonely. We remember most all of them, some we didn't know had passed away. I have a small list of things I'm proud to have seen and done. Meeting a shaking General Chuck Yeagers hand is one.

Rest in peace Sean Connery 😢

[@SuperBigblue19]

Met Curly Neal when I was 10. He brought so much fun and joy to kids and adults from my generation. Rest in peace

[@meggieh69]

Another Honorable Mention. Benny Mardones, the singer /songwriter best known for his single Into the Night, passed away due to complications of Parkinson's Disease on June 29, 2020; the same day as Carl Reiner.

[@scottknode898]

Rip Sean Connery the definitive James Bond and I am a big fan of the Bond series even though I grew up as kid on Pierce Brosnan and in college when Daniel Craig took over in casino Royale. Other Connery movies I liked were The Rock, The Hunt For Red October and favorite Bond films of his were Goldfinger and From Russia With Love. Rip as well to legendary actor Kirk Douglas among others who passed in 2020.

[@tdhjim1]

I’m glad someone mentioned him!!! Thank You!!

[@tabathasheffroth7981]

Adam Schlesinger, bassist and songwriter of Fountains of Wayne, succumbed to Covid on April 1st.

[@kevinmiller6380]

How could you leave out Harold Reid, the bass singer for the Statler Brothers? He died April 24th, 2020 at the age of 80 from kidney failure. If you can include Kenny Rogers and Charlie Daniels, then Harold should be on this list as well.

[@hbennett5640]

I don't think he intentionally leaves people out. He will add when mentioned I believe❤.

[@billgrandone3552]

I lliked the rememberance to the victims of COVID at the beginning of this piece. I would ask that you not only remember them but those who risked their own lives, some in vain, trying to save the millions of people who contracted this horrible disease,-the doctors, nurses, EMTs, police, and hospital and doctor's office staff that came in contact with the infected and did their jobs. Remember too, the families who not only lost family members, but time and income caring for the sick, and burying and mourning the dead. And finally, this November. I would ask you to remember the one man who could have made a positive difference in the number of people we lost but chose instead to play to his base, and hinder efforts to control the epidemic by making light of the people who chose to wear masks and observe distancing, aligningn himself with the anti-vaxxers claiming it was a matter of personal choice, and continually pushing false cures and repeating false claims that the epidemic would end soon without further acts of the CDC and Dr. Fauci to require the people to do anything more. Remember the lies. Remember too that he caught COVID and got the best of care, when thousands of people were dying in the hospitals of this country with nothing to save them. Or begging for the vaccine when they had previously turned it down, only to be told that the vaccine only prevented the disease or made it less serious. It was not a cure and they waited too long. Remember all those people and never let Donald Trump ever lead this country again. There is blood on his hands. Vote Blue in memory of those who should be with us, and those who risked and gave their lives to try to save them.

Even though he was a pitcher in MLB, and the author of the only World Series perfect game, Don Larsen should be included as well. He died on New Year's Day, 2020 of esophageal cancer at the age of 90. At the time of his passing Larsen was the only one left on either team (Brooklyn Dodgers being the other) that played in that game.

Great notices. Yet, the omissions of HOF’s Mr. Kaline, Mr. Morgan, Mr. Gibson, Mr. Niekro, Coach John Thompson, FOOTBALL HOF’s Mr. Wilson and Mr. Hourning, Basketball HOF Mr. Jones and Mr. Heinshon, and Mr. Unseld, we’re rather glaring. And I have seen other victims of other notable accidents noticed…the other chopper victims alongside Mr. Kobe and Ms. GiGi were also missing-particularly Coach John Altobelli, one of the top baseball coaches of all-time. Otherwise, keep ‘em coming. A revision would do this list a whole lot of great.

What a year of losses. Musically, it started very early with the greatness of Neil Peart. Add in the likes of Charlie Daniels, Kenny Rogers, Charley Pride, Johnny Nash, Bill Withers, Little Richard, Eddie Van Halen.....what a lineup of talent. Baseball lost some memorable greats; The Chairman of the Board, Whitey Ford....Tom Seaver, Lou Brock. On the big screen, two absolute legends in Sean Connery and Kirk Douglas, along with Max von Sydow, and taken far too soon, Chadwick Boseman. Television lost some great talent in Alex Trebek, James Lipton, and Grant Imahara. The Notorious RBG left an indelible mark on the country with her work on the Supreme Court, and perhaps the most shocking death of the year was the loss of Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna.
