Still traveling, so these are going to be on the brief side.
Mike “Duke” Venturino, longtime gun writer. I had been reading his articles since Jesus was a lance corporal at least, so this hits a little hard.
I never met him, but he was a swell writer. I don’t have any more information other than the linked article, but I’ll post anything additional I find.
Tony Lo Bianco, actor. Other credits include “Homicide: Life on the Street”, “The Twilight Zone” (the 1985 revival), and “Police Story”.
Jerry West, NBA player, coach, and executive.
Lost three real men. West, always was a gentleman when I saw him as a player or exec. What we used to call a grownup.
