Those Are People Who Died, Died

With the dawn of the new year, it's interesting to look back and see who has passed on in 2015. Some of these names have been very recently in the news; others have been gone for what feels like several years. Some belonged to the higher circles of art, some less so. Some will be missed, again, others less so. The one thing they all have in common; they've started the journey each of us will one day take, alone. For that, if nothing else, I salute you:
