60 is pretty darn young! I did watch the show quite a few years ago -- it was entertaining, but nothing spectacular.
 
American Pickers' star Frank Fritz dead at 60

Frank Fritz has died, Fox News Digital can confirm.

"We are saddened to share that our friend and beloved member of The HISTORY Channel and ‘American Pickers’ family, Frank Fritz, has passed away on September 30, 2024," The History Channel and Cineflex Productions shared in a statement with Fox News Digital. "Frank filmed ‘American Pickers’ for over a decade. We will always remember ‘the bearded charmer’ and his never-ending search for vintage motorcycles and bikes. Our thoughts are with Frank’s loved ones during this difficult time. He will be deeply missed."

His former co-star Mike Wolfe also posted about the "American Pickers" star's death on Instagram. "It’s with a broken heart that I share with all of you that Frank passed away last night," he wrote.

I loved the show(Pickers) too.  Frank was actually 59, a few weeks away from being 60.  Either age is too young, and to die of a stroke at such an age, is just sad.

Well, bye Frank. Hope you get to find something good on the other side.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Emily "Cissy" Houston, who found fame as member of The Sweet Inspirations, forged an award-winning gospel career, and mothered Whitney Houston, dies at 91

Houston's appearance on David Letterman in the mid-1980s, in which the vocal stylings her daughter would make famous are obvious:

Interesting.  Whitney really did take after her mom's style.

No mention of RFK Jr.?

Looking at Ethel's bio on W'pedia, it appears that Michael and David, the two sons named, both pre-deceased their Mom.

Former boy band superstar Liam Payne dies at 31

Payne was a member of the early 2010s English boy band One Direction. On what appeared to be a drug and alcohol-induced bender, Payne fell to his death from a balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Argentina.

It sounds like he didn't handle falling from popularity, generally, and the recent breakup with his GF. It may have been suicide, though that may not be known.

Corrected. I was out of the house when I posted that, so I got my South American countries mixed up.

No cause of death mentioned, but that seems so young (one other story put his age at 63). He certainly was entertaining to watch.

In my baseball watching lore, i obviously disliked the Dodgers, but there was no doubt how entertaining "Toro" was.

He had one of the nastiest screwballs in his era, and his delivery just compounded the difficulty to hit it.  Was surprised though how un-dominatiing his overall career stats were. (173-153. 3.54 era).  Still, at his height, he was one tough pitcher.
