I didn’t know of this man until I saw him in the list of recent deaths on Wikipedia’s home page.
Upon reading about him, I wished I’d known about him sooner.

Chuck Close’s work was amazing. when i was in school, of course we studied him, and we had a semester long assignment to do our own version of something in his style. i never did complete mine, sigh. what a talent he had.

My father was such a fan of theirs. I have so many early memories of listening to their albums.

My wife just bought a CD collection with 75 of their songs to play (without headphones) while baking.
Seriously, I remember their music with some fondness.

I just saw it on FB.
Addendum: Then I Googled:

i was away on a camping trip for a few days, and when i came back and checked twitter earlier today, this was the first thing i saw. i’m so sad – i’ve followed him for quite awhile now, and i’m 100% sure it was his voice and direction for the posts, if not his actual fingers typing the responses. he was funny, gruff as expected, and a fierce critic of all things GOP. he was a funny and inspiring voice and presence. he will be missed.

I was thinking about him earlier, after I watched the Al Roker video I posted in the WTI thread.
