RIP Johnny Cash and John Ritter
I wasn't a big fan of country music until later in my life and even then, I wasn't really big on Johnny Cash, but I'm sure a lot of people will be mourning his passing.
I was a fan of John Ritter and loved his ability to do bumbling, stumbling physical comedy. He'll be missed.

Although I do enjoy much of what country has to offer, Johnny Cash was never my reason for that. Still, his impact on bringing country to a more mainstream audience is almost unparalleled. He made a wonderful contribution.
Same goes for John Ritter. A lot of my own time committed to watching him, especially Three's Company.
Both of these people brought good things to the people who enjoyed them. They will be missed.

It seems unlikely that the show would continue and yet "Cheers" replaced Coach with Woody and "Gimme A Break" lost Dolph Sweet and they continued. Of course, John's character "Paul Hennessy" was the main character, so I don't know how they'd work around that. It wouldn't be the same without him and his comic abilities.

I too was so shocked that John Ritter died. I first saw the news scroll across CNN early Friday morning and thought for certain I had read that wrong. But no indeed, I didn't. I immediately went to CNN online to confirm the sad, sad news. He was way too young to die!!! Way too young..... I am to be flat-out honest, still in shock today. It is so sad he left behind a 5 year old daughter and 3 grown children from his first marriage. His wife is from Cincinnati and this past year there would be accounts in local papers of how the entire family would be in town visiting her relatives. They'd be seen at the Children's Museum or a Reds game. John was always gracious and kind to strangers who timidly would ask - are you really John Ritter? He would confirm he was and apparently warmly offered autographs. But what most local people would say was he was down to earth and didn't want all the fanfare that went with celebrity status. He is truly one of those entertainers that I've never heard a bit of negative news about. RIP John.....
And now onto Johnny Cash. That was indeed such sad news. I'm not a country music fan but he transended musical genre's so even I liked his style/music. He was so devastated after his wife died that you grieved with him, back in May. His family will be in my prayers. As will the Ritter family.
Such a sad day all around. And to also realize John Ritter passed away on 9/11 too was very sad too.

PS - quick edit - just read that 9/11 was John Ritter's daughter's birthday. Now I'm even sadder, if that's possible.
