This summer is insane for famous dudes dying, who do we have so far? Kronkite, Robert Strange McNamara, MJ, OxyClean dude, Fawcett(sp), Ed McMan, McNair--basically, if you've got an Irish-sounding name and your kind of famous, you might want to be careful.
Wow, another famous person to leave. Walter (referred to as "Uncle Walt") was a great man that knew how to deliver news. I wish these noobs nowadays had such skills. Prayers to Walter's family and friends. In his memory, for his fans I have collected some great sites and articles (more than 200) to know all about Walter Cronkite. If you are interested take a look at the below link

Less than a week ago I spoted the trend that famous people with last names beginning with "Mc" were gettting deaded with earie regularity, now renown author Frank McCourt catches a bad one. All I'm saying, Brian McKnight, is that you better watch your back, homie.
Shit... Now that I think about it, Mayor McCheese isn't looking too healthy these days...
R.I.P.
