‘60s teen idol Bobby Sherman dead at 81
By Whitney Vasquez Published June 24, 2025, 2:01 p.m. ET
(I'll admit it. I was a fan... long ago and far away. RIP, Bobby.

Former heartthrob Bobby Sherman has died.
His wife, Brigitte Poublon, and dear friend, John Stamos, confirmed his death on Tuesday, June 24, following a short battle with cancer.
Sherman, who skyrocketed to fame in the 1960s as an actor and musician, was 81.

“It is with the heaviest heart that I share the passing of my beloved husband, Bobby Sherman,” Poublon’s message, which was posted by Stamos on behalf of the widow, read. “Bobby left this world holding my hand—just as he held up our life with love, courage, and unwavering grace through all 29 beautiful years of marriage. I was his Cinderella, and he was my prince charming.”
The tribute also revealed how Sherman spent his final days.
“As he rested, I read him fan letters from all over the world—words of love and gratitude that lifted his spirits and reminded him of how deeply he was cherished. He soaked up every word with that familiar sparkle in his eye. And yes, he still found time to crack well-timed jokes—Bobby had a wonderful, wicked sense of humor. It never left him,” his wife continued.
Sherman’s wife announced the singer had been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer in March.
“To all of Bobby Sherman’s cherished fans, as many of you know, Bobby has been retired for some time and is no longer able to participate in cameos, sign autographs or make appearances,” Poublon shared on social media at the time. “It is with a heavy heart that we share Bobby has recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer.”
“During this challenging time, we kindly ask for your understanding and respect for our privacy,” Poublon continued. “Thank you so much for still remembering him. We really appreciate it.”
Weeks later, she revealed Sherman’s cancer had “spread everywhere.”
“He was doing crossword puzzles with me in the last few days. And then all of a sudden Saturday, he turned around and … he’s just sleeping more and his body’s not working anymore. It’s not. Everything’s shutting down,” she announced in April.
Poublon also shared that the singer was receiving special care at home.
“His last words from the hospital last night were, ‘Brig, I just want to go home,’” she revealed, adding that “he can barely sign his name” and wanted “to be left in peace” to spend his remaining days with his family and five dogs.
During that time, she even advised Stamos, who Sherman considered his “best friend,” to send the singer a personal message via video “because I told him I don’t recommend him come into the room where Bobby’s at right now.”
The “Full House” actor met the singer at Brigitte and Bobby Sherman Children’s Foundation, an organization the couple founded that provides meals and education to children in Ghana, a few years ago, “and we’ve been best friends ever [since],” Poublon explained.
Sherman — real name Robert Cabot Sherman Jr. — had an unbelievable career, which kicked off when Jane Fonda and Natalie Wood discovered him singing “Happy Birthday” at a party hosted by “Rebel Without a Cause” star Sal Mineo.
Both Fonda and Wood fell “in love with Bobby” at the party and helped him get an agent, Poublon said.
The exchange led to his first television gig on the ABC series “Shindig!” where he was a house singer and cast member.
But it was the 1968 breakout role of Jeremy Bolt in ABC’s “Here Come the Brides” that “put Bobby on the map,” his wife shared.
The shaggy-haired star was considered a celebrity crush for many teens in the ’60s and ’70, rivaled only by Donny Osmond and David Cassidy.
Sherman brought joy to millions during his career, which also included the release of 10 albums, with hits including “Little Woman,” “Easy Come, Easy Go,” “La La La (If I Had You)” and “Julie, Do Ya Love Me.”
All four singles reached the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 and achieved gold-selling status.
Sherman’s other acting credits included “Fantasy Island,” “Murder, She Wrote” and “The Love Boat.” His last television appearance was on a 1997 episode of “Frasier,” in which he played himself.
He later decided to switch gears, leaving the entertainment industry to be a man of service as an EMT and a technical reserve police officer with the Los Angeles Police Department.
In 1999, the hitmaker was named LAPD Reserve Officer of the Year.
“He saved lives. He showed us what real heroism looks like—quiet, selfless and deeply human,” his wife said while announcing his death.
“He lived with integrity, gave without hesitation, and loved with his whole heart. And though our family feels his loss profoundly, we also feel the warmth of his legacy—his voice, his laughter, his music, his mission,” Poublon added.
He was previously married to Patti Carnel, with whom he shared two sons, Christopher Noel Sherman and Tyler Carnel Sherman, from 1971 to 1979.
He wed Poublon, who was a fan, in 2011 after meeting at her 40th birthday bash.
Sherman leaves behind Poublon, his sons and six grandchildren.

FedEx founder, executive chairman Fred Smith dead at 80: ‘Pioneer of an industry’
By Reuters Published June 22, 2025, 1:41 a.m. ET
FedEx Corp’s founder and former CEO Frederick Smith, who started the global delivery conglomerate with more than a dozen planes in the 1970s, has died, the company’s CEO Raj Subramaniam said in memo to staff posted on its website on Saturday.
He was 80 years old.
Born in 1944, Smith was most recently serving as the firm’s executive chairman and focused on board governance, as well as issues of global importance, including sustainability, innovation and public policy, according to his profile on FedEx’s website.
Smith stepped aside as FedEx’s CEO in 2022 and was succeeded by Subramaniam, who was then the company’s operations chief.

“Fred was more than just the pioneer of an industry and the founder of our great company. He was a mentor to many and a source of inspiration to all,” Subramaniam said in the memo to staff.
Smith, who served as an officer in the US Marine Corps in Vietnam, officially launched Federal Express in 1973 with 389 team members and 14 small planes that flew 186 packages from Memphis to 25 U.S. cities.
FedEx operations now include 705 aircraft, more than 200,000 vehicles and about 5,000 operating facilities, according to its website.
More than 500,000 employees worldwide handle approximately 17 million shipments each day at FedEx.

The Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson dies at 82
By Associated Press Published June 11, 2025, 1:01 p.m. ET
Brian Wilson, the Beach Boys’ visionary and fragile leader whose genius for melody, arrangements and wide-eyed self-expression inspired “Good Vibrations,” “California Girls” and other summertime anthems that made him one of the world’s most influential recording artists, has died at 82.
Wilson’s family posted news of his death to his website and social media accounts Wednesday. Further details weren’t immediately available.

“We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away,” Wilson’s family wrote. “We are at a loss for words right now.”
“Please respect our privacy at this time as our family is grieving,” the statement continued. “We realize that we are sharing our grief with the world.”
The message signed off with phrase “Love & Mercy,” which was the title track of Wilson’s debut solo album that came out in 1988. It was also the name of the 2014 biopic in which Wilson was played by John Cusack and Paul Dano at different stages of his life.

The eldest and last surviving of three musical brothers — Brian played bass, Carl lead guitar and Dennis drums — he and his fellow Beach Boys rose in the 1960s from local California band to national hitmakers to international ambassadors of surf and sun.
Wilson himself was celebrated for his gifts and pitied for his demons. He was one of rock’s great romantics, a tormented man who in his peak years embarked on an ever-steeper path to aural perfection, the one true sound.

NORM! Rest in peace Georg Wendt...
‘Cheers’ star George Wendt dead at 76
By Whitney Vasquez Published May 20, 2025, 3:51 p.m. ET
(Lots of pictures at the link.)
Everyone knew his name.
George Wendt, famous for playing Norm Peterson in the iconic sitcom “Cheers,” has died at 76.
His family rep confirmed the news to The Post, saying Wendt “died peacefully in his sleep while at home” Tuesday.
“George was a doting family man, a well-loved friend and confidant to all of those lucky enough to have known him,” the family rep’s statement read. “He will be missed forever. The family has requested privacy during this time.”
Wendt’s official cause of death has not been disclosed.
The actor earned six consecutive Emmy nominations for his performance as Norm on NBC’s “Cheers” and appeared in all 275 episodes of the program.
Wendt starred in the comedy, which centered around the regulars of the Boston bar “Cheers,” alongside Ted Danson, 77, Rhea Perlman, 77, John Ratzenberger, 78, Kelsey Grammer, 70, Woody Harrelson, 63, Shelley Long, 75, the late Kirstie Alley, and more. The series ran 11 seasons from 1982 to 1993, and took home 28 Emmys.
Wendt was born in Beverly, Illinois, in 1948, and stuck to his roots by starting his career in the city’s booming improv landscape.
The actor began as a comedian at the Second City in the 1970s before becoming a household name.
He appeared in several TV shows until finally landing his big break as Norm.
The role would define Wendt’s career and legacy.
“Afternoon, everybody” became one of the most recognizable lines on “Cheers” and was Norm’s catchphrase. As one of the fan-favorites, Wendt scored six Emmy nominations for Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.
He also reprised the role of Norm in the short-lived “Cheers” spinoff, “The Tortellis,” as well as another spinoff, “Frasier.”
Wendt later scored his own sitcom, “The George Wendt Show.” In the CBS program, he played a radio host car mechanic. It was scrapped after one month.
The National Comedy Center addressed Wendt’s legacy and death in a statement to The Post.
“From his early days with the Second City to his iconic role as Norm on Cheers, George Wendt’s work showcased how comedy can create indelible characters that feel like family. Over the course of 11 seasons, he brought warmth and humor to one of television’s most beloved roles. His work is proudly featured in the National Comedy Center, and we honor his legacy and the joy he brought to generations of fans,” said Journey Gunderson, the center’s executive director.
Wendt wasn’t the only one in his family who caught the acting bug.
“Saturday Night Live” alum Jason Sudeikis, 49, is the late star’s nephew.
The “Ted Lasso” star’s mother, Kathryn, is one of Wendt’s sisters.
The Post has reached out to Sudeikis’ rep for comment.
Wendt once teased that the hardest part of playing Norm was drinking the warm, flat and zero alcohol “beer.”
“There I was slamming those down for a whole day. It not only tastes disgusting, I was afraid of keeling over from high blood pressure,” he told the Washington Post in 1985. “Then I got the knack. I didn’t have to put all those brews away. It only mattered when the camera was pointing my way. It took a couple of years, but now I watch the camera. That’s how I make my money. That’s acting.”
He would go on to play Norm in other non-“Cheers” TV projects, including “Wings,” “The Simpsons” and “Family Guy.”
He also starred as himself on “Seinfeld” and “The Larry Sanders Show,” and had recurring roles on “The Naked Truth” and “Sabrina the Teenage Witch.”
Wendt didn’t just stick to the TV screen.
The star made his Broadway debut in “Art” (1998) and played Edna Turnblad in “Hairspray” from 2007 to 2008.
Wendt’s last public appearance was June 1, 2024, at the Big Slick Celebrity Weekend with NFL star Travis Kelce.
The actor reunited with his “Cheers” co-stars for a trip down memory lane in January 2024 at the 75th annual Primetime Emmy Awards.
The cast gathered around a replica of the series’ popular Boston bar to present the Best Directing for a Comedy Series and Best Writing in a Comedy Series statuettes.
Wendt is survived by his wife of 46 years, actress Bernadette Birkett; their children Hilary, Joe and Daniel; and his stepchildren, Joshua and Andrew.

Thanks Phil. Sad news - I lost my wife of 45 years three weeks ago. Am still in a state of shock and absolutely lost. I'll keep coming here because I feel like I'm among friends. Thanks for the invite and kindness. If you're interested in Laverne's Memorial, just visit http://dignity.mem.com/Story.aspx?ID=2679224 and feel free to leave a comment in the guest book if you want.

Jim------Just wanted to let you know that I lost my best friend early Thursday a.m. He had really began to weaken due to the tumors and the chemo. He was here at home with me and died peacefully. I can truthfully say that he was ready to meet His Maker which he did. I am truly blessed to know that today he is in a much better place with no pain and sorrow. You can let his chat board friends aware of his death if you wish. I just know he truly knew you and Carol were praying for him daily. Stay in touch. Amy
Dr. Feelgood advised valleytopdog passed away:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/profilea.aspx?user=127776
Notice of the passing of valleytopdog on Friday May 21, 2010
I am the brother of John (valleytopdog) who wanted me to inform this board of his passing. Some of you, I believe, met with him personally. He wanted to let you know how much he enjoyed the many exchanges that he had with many of you on this board. He was a very big believer in the NanoViricides technology and was looking for it to be commercialized during his lifetime. He had a very aggressive form of lung cancer that took him in less than a month. We got him on DCA that began to help, but it was brought too late to the battle to benefit him.
Peace
Robert

He had been diagnosed with congestive heart failure back in December.
He will be missed.. RIP Phil my friend
