Joshua Ray Walker (still no wiki) claims to be cancer-free. However, this has not been reported quite yet on his Go Fund Me.

Just wanted to point out that the Jimmy Carter sweepstakes is still technically ongoing at 18+ months. Apples and oranges perhaps.

November 3.

My guess is Ozzy. Tony and Geezer are keeping well. Bill’s health is as good as it’s been in years. I hope they all get to enjoy their golden years, though it’s odd to think of these guys growing elderly considering their musical output and earlier lifestyles.

Adam Abeshouse, 3 time Grammy Winner, enjoys a final concert in his honor.

Joshua Ray Walker (no wiki), apparently famous country singer, says his colon cancer has returned to Stage IV now in both lungs, launches Go Fund Me.

Jim Donovan, (wiki) the radio voice of the Cleveland Browns from 1999-2023, officially retires from the broadcast booth due to “aggressive” cancer and associated treatment plans. Evidently, he was first diagnosed with leukemia in 2000.

Erik Jensen apparently cancer free.

Tirado with an ominous post. “Send flowers.”

Linda Tirado underwent a few surgeries and may not actually be in hospice yet, at least as of July 2. “Not much more they can do for me here until my organs start failing again.“ For reference.

The Iranians are apparently after him now.

Longtime sports handicapper/tout Dave Cokin has terminal cancer and has “opted to pass on chemo and let nature take its course”. He’s worked for several outlets over the years and is a regular contributor to Wagertalk on YouTube.

Was it this one?

Eriksson received another quality tribute and seemingly walked without constant aid as he did at Gothenburg. edit: my apologies if the video is unavailable outside of the states.

She’s a tough one no doubt. But don’t be surprised if we hear about a fourth recurrence down the road.

Eriksson supposedly accepted an invitation to visit Sampdoria, another of his former clubs, for a tribute. This one will take place on May 5. It is Sampdoria’s final home match of the season, so probably no other opportunity to host him.

Update on Larry Pressler, the former US Senator/DDP pick. Pressler recently moved into an assisted living facility in his home state of South Dakota and admits he’s probably at his “last stop” as a result. However, he claims to be in good health despite his cancer treatments.

Potentially of interest, Eriksson is scheduled to continue his farewell tour at a tribute hosted by Lazio on May 12. A good opportunity to see how he’s progressed over a few weeks.

QO: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2024/04/19/daniel-dennett-philosopher-atheist-darwinist/

Reports on social media that philosopher Daniel Dennett, one of the leaders of New Atheism, has died. https://x.com/jfgariepy/status/1781368394161213505?s=46&t=Em1VIf8zUlgnB317CmgKkQ

For the record.
