Almond announced his musical partner's death on Facebook Thursday. It is hard to write this, let alone process it, but it is with the greatest sadness that the other half of Soft Cell, the wonderful brilliant musical genius David Ball, died peacefully in his sleep on Tuesday night, Almond said. The singer said Ball had been ill for a while and seen his health decline in recent years, but gave no cause of death.

BBC Tony Caunter, who played Roy Evans in EastEnders, has died aged 88, his family has announced. The actor played a car dealer with a love interest for Pam St Clement's character Pat Butcher, in the British soap from 1994 to 2003. In a statement, his family said he died "peacefully" on Monday evening at Eastbourne District General Hospital, just eight days after his wife of 63 years, Fran.

Stephanie 'Tanqueray' Johnson passed away last night after suffering a severe stroke. She will be most remembered for holding the world in thrall with her no-holds-barred storytelling about life as a burlesque dancer in the 1970s.

His Army tenure included station stops in Missouri, Paris, France, and the San Francisco Presidio. He served as a Sergeant. Upon completing his military service, Jerry returned to North Dakota and enrolled in college. It was through his rural upbringing and military service that Jerry learned his core values of self-sufficiency, hard work, and fair dealing - values that served him well and made him known as a man of integrity.

It is with the deepest sadness that we have to announce that John Lodge, our darling husband, father, grandfather, father-in-law and brother, has been suddenly and unexpectedly taken from us. As anyone who knew this massive-hearted man knows, it was his enduring love of his wife, Kirsten, and his family, that was the most important thing to him, followed by his passion for music, and his faith.

Patrick Murray, the actor best known for playing Mickey Pearce in the BBC sitcom Only Fools and Horses, has died aged 68. In 2021 Murray revealed he had been diagnosed with cancer and had an operation to remove a lung tumour in its early stages. He said in 2022 that his oncologist had told him his lung cancer was cured and that the tumour in my liver was shrinking, but in April 2023 he revealed it had returned.

He was one of the most underrated college basketball players of all time. I believe some people took his ability for granted because he made it look so easy. Lawrence was one of our greatest players and one of the best in the history of the Big East Conference.

The fact I'm making movies is just an accident.

Of the many things to remember about David Stabler, the one that keeps coming back to me is his smile, a wide delighted upturn at the corners of his mouth that set his moustache twitching and traveled northward to his eyes, which were in on the joke. Isn't life grand? it seemed to say. Can't we just scoop it all up?

But what a life it was! Realizing fairly early that at 5-foot-8 and 130 pounds, a desired career as an athlete was not realistic, Mike thought that if he couldn't play the games well, maybe he could write well about them and set out to become a sportswriter. And, with some fantastic breaks along the way, he became one, first at his hometown newspaper, the Waukesha (Wis.) Freeman, then on to 25 years at the Milwaukee Journal, capping his career with a 23-year stint as senior assistant sports editor at the Los Angeles Times.

She was everywhere and she loved it and it was a wonderful experience, although she had to ask my brother what does it mean if you go viral. She didn't know that," Gail Hagerty said. "She used to say that if you were going to have 15 minutes of fame and if you were 86, you had to do it soon. You couldn't wait.

He had begun his career shooting photos for his high school yearbook and college newspaper, though, and always remembered what a simple slice-of-life picture means for those who aren't famous or immersed in a startling news event. Away from work, he photographed his sons' high school sports events and kept doing so after they graduated because he knew photos are treasured memories that linger for years on everything from refrigerators to social media pages.
