    Mr. Wright was one of the first to portray a bunch of concord grapes in the Fruit of the Loom commercials of the 70s, and featured in an episode of The Cosby Show, as a distraught father whose daughter is into drugs, “Close to Home”.( 1986 ). I know everyone is decreed with their time to die, but what natural cause do you die of at 23 ? Honestly curious.

    Many great American legends passing and most of them made their marks and will always be remembered! One really stands out is the WWII and USS Indianapolis survivor, Edgar Harrell. The terror that man had to endure, having his ship sunk by a Japanese submarine and being stranded in the middle of the ocean for five days and watching his shipmates dying from the elements, dehydration, starvation and sharks. RIP to all in this video.

    "We are born, we have our time, then one day, we die. It is life's one guarantee. We are all going to have it occur, from, some malady, illness, disease, accident or just natural causes. None of us are getting out of here, alive. Make the most of the moments, as moments, strung together as each our timeline, our life line on this planet of slow learners, are all we have. Love deeply, live truly, think the profound thoughts and passionately live the stuff of dreams, till we once again become dust and reunite with the energy and the ether" - Dave West
